What Is Microwave Radiation Testing?

Microwave ovens are common in commercial kitchens and workplace staff rooms. Over time, worn door seals, damaged hinges, or warped enclosures can allow microwave radiation leakage. Liberty Test & Tag performs microwave leakage testing using professional detectors and applies the recognised leakage limits defined in AS/NZS 60335.2.25 alongside electrical safety testing under AS/NZS 3760.

We measure emissions around door seals, viewing screens, and enclosures. Testing detects leaks below the 5 mW/cm² safety limit, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards.

Common Causes of Leakage

  • • Worn or damaged door seals
  • • Loose or broken hinges
  • • Warped door panels or enclosures
  • • Failed safety interlocks
  • • Age-related deterioration

Who's At Risk?

Staff who use microwaves multiple times daily—such as kitchen workers, nurses, office staff, and teachers—face the highest cumulative exposure if leakage occurs.

Our Testing Detects Issues Early

We measure radiation emissions with precision instruments, identifying leaks before they pose health risks or compliance issues.

Our Microwave Testing Process

Systematic testing ensures accurate radiation leak detection.

1

Inspect

Check door seals, hinges, latches, and screens for damage or wear.

2

Test

Run microwave under load while scanning around door seals and enclosure joints using a professional microwave leakage detector.

3

Record

Document emissions (mW/cm²) and determine pass/fail against 5 mW/cm² limit.

4

Report

Apply label and provide compliance report with next test date.

What We Measure

Our microwave leakage detectors measure radiation emissions in mW/cm² around door seals, viewing windows, vents, and enclosure joints.

AS/NZS 60335.2.25 defines a recognised safety limit of ≤5 mW/cm² measured approximately 5 cm from the oven surface.

Compliance & Safety Standards

Microwave testing follows AS/NZS 60335.2.25 (appliance safety) and AS/NZS 3760 (electrical safety). Regular testing reduces WHS risks and ensures safe operation.

Under WHS legislation, employers must maintain equipment safely. Documented testing and RCD safety switch testing demonstrate compliance and protect against liability.
