Protecting Your Workplace from Microwave Radiation

Microwave ovens are an everyday part of many workplaces, commercial kitchens, staff rooms and hospitality environments. While designed with multiple safety features to contain microwave energy, damaged doors, seals, hinges, latches or other components can potentially increase leakage.

​

STAT | Statewide Compliance Testing provides professional microwave leakage testing to help identify excessive microwave radiation and ensure your equipment remains safe for use. Our testing is carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.25, the applicable Australian/New Zealand safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances, including microwave ovens.

​

What we check

Our technicians inspect the microwave oven and carry out leakage measurements using appropriate calibrated test equipment. We assess areas including:

​

• Door and door seals

• Hinges and latching mechanisms

• Cabinet and enclosure condition

• Signs of damage, wear or deterioration

• Microwave leakage levels during operation

• Overall condition relevant to safe operation

​

Testing can help identify issues that may not be visible during a normal visual inspection.

​

Why regular testing matters

Microwave ovens can experience wear and damage through everyday use. A damaged door, deteriorated seal or faulty latch may affect the appliance's ability to contain microwave energy.

Did you know?

Microwave leakage must remain below the maximum allowable limit of 5.0 mW/cm² to meet the applicable safety requirements.

​

Regular leakage testing provides an additional level of workplace safety assurance and helps businesses identify equipment requiring repair, removal from service or further assessment.

Suitable for all workplaces

​

Our microwave leakage testing service is suitable for offices, schools, childcare centres, healthcare facilities, aged care, hospitality, commercial kitchens, factories, warehouses, accommodation providers and other workplaces where microwave ovens are in use.

​

Professional testing & reporting

Following testing, STAT can provide documented results for your records, helping you maintain a clear history of your equipment and demonstrate that appropriate safety checks have been undertaken.

​

If your workplace relies on microwave ovens, make microwave safety part of your compliance program.
