Microwave leakage testing
The recent 3rd addition of the code of practice for inspection and testing of electrical equipment now stipulates the need to test all microwaves for any microwave leakage.
To complement out PAT testing service we also have the facility to provide a microwave leakage detection service which can be carried out at the same time as your PAT testing.
Microwave ovens are being used increasingly within workplace as a convenient and safe way of cooking food. Lack of cleanliness, damage and poor maintenance of the door seals could result in radiation leakage levels in excess of the recommended limit.
Unless periodically tested these devices could become a health and safety hazard without you
being aware.
Microwave Leakage Test:
Following our comprehensive PAT test the following will be carried out:
- Full visual inspection to include: outer casing. Inner casing, door interlocks and all seals.
- Microwave Leakage detection test using the latest (calibrated) Martindale leakage equipment.
- Note: All Microwave ovens must pass the Electrical Safety Test and Microwave Leakage test in order to be classed as safe to use.
- Detailed labelling on equipment following the testing.
If you need any advice on PAT Testing, please
contact our friendly and knowledgeable team who will inform you of the best way forward for your particular needs.
