Microwave Leakage Testing

What is Microwave Oven radiation?

Microwave oven radiation is the energy that produces water in food to vibrate quickly, resulting in the heating of food. Faulty microwaves can distribute radiation leakage that can be very harmful. Where would we be without them? The microwave is one of the greatest inventions ever to grace our homes and places of business.

That said, like all other electrical appliances, it is important that this time-saving device is looked after and cared for properly because if it is compromised, this could pose problems for those that use it. If you believe that something is amiss, having a microwave tester visit your premises is vital because it could save you from harm and even save your life.

Jim’s Test & Tag can check your microwave ovens for both radiation leakage and power output efficiency. Microwave testing is particularly important in the retail food industry.

How to Detect Microwave Radiation

In terms of where things can go wrong for a microwave, it is very common to see the appliance working as it always has, however for the door seals to have become worn down over time, which increases the risk of a harmful radiation leakage. If you are wondering how to detect microwave radiation or suspect that this could be a distinct possibility with regards to your appliance, then you should waste no time and make contact with the team here at Jim’s Test and Tag so that we can professionally assess and determine this for you.

Should our team determine that your microwave is in fact compromised, then you will, of course, be informed and the appliance will be stickered to indicate that is faulty and should no longer be operated. Disposal is necessary in such instances. Once it is gone, and you have a new appliance in place, our team will also test to guarantee that it is fit for purpose.

For those with pacemakers, you will likely be that bit more sensitive to a faulty microwave, and so, should you experience any dizziness or discomfort while using one, it is recommended that you move away immediately and seek medical assistance.

For facilities and building managers, employing a professional team to use their microwave leak detector will ensure that your kitchen area meets AS/NZS 60335.2.25 requirements. Any damage to a microwave, mishandling, or misuse of it should be reported to the person responsible for it. Anything less could result in the safety of those on the premises being compromised.
