Answer - Radiation leakage testing is a most practical and accurate way for your organisation to ensure that the radiation levels being
emitted from its microwave ovens are within Radiation Health Committee Limits and Australian / New Zealand Standards .
Microwave Safety Systems’ test results are valid for 12 months
No. Radiation leakage is measured in Milliwatts/cm sq. This can only be measured by having the units tested
using an advanced microwave survey meter.
Tests have shown that microwaves not showing any obvious signs of physical damage can leak radiation above the recommended limit.
Units tested have been found to leaks of up to 20 times above the limit.
If the microwave is leaking radiation above the limit and we are unable to make any adjustments to reduce the radiation levels,
we will place a “DO NOT USE” sticker on the unit and inform the contact.
Please note that we do not perform any repairs but may be able to make small adjustment such as tightening accessible screws
or realigning doors.
By having the microwave ovens on your premises inspected by Microwave Safety Systems, your organisation has ensured that
the radiation levels are within the recommended limits and has reduced any " Perceived Risk of Injury" arising from microwave radiation.
