General Information:

General Microwave Oven Information


  • All Commercial, Technical & Laboratory Microwave Ovens Must be Registered with the State of New Jersey Yearly [ Fee required ] and Tested Yearly unless exempt
    All yearly testing must be Documented and kept available as needed.
    per NJDEP NJAC - 7:28-48.3c

  • A Microwave oven should only be used if an yearly inspection confirms all of the following points;
    The surface of the door is not damaged.
    The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly
    The door hinges are in good condition.
    The oven is clean and in particular the door edges and interior surrounds
    No corrosion is evident

  • Precautions for Radiation Safety in the use of Microwave Ovens.
    Follow the Manufacturer"s Instructions or Recommended Operating Procedures and Safety Precautions
    Never Tamper with or Inactivate any Interlocking Devises.
    Never use the oven without the racks / trays provided.
    Never Operate the oven without a Load in the oven cavity.
    Never rest heavy objects on microwave or door.
    Keep oven Cavity and door seal surfaces clean [use water & mild detergent] Never use abrasive pads etc.

  • Precautions for safe use of Microwave Ovens: Standard testing Requirements [21 CFR 1030.10] are " The Microwave Leakage at any point 2 inches from the external surface of the appliance shall not Exceed 5mw [milliwatts] per square Centimeter" [ microwave energy decreases dramatically as you move away from the source, a reading 20" away would equal 1/100th of the value @ 2"
    This Recommended limit is Conservative and includes significant safety factors so even leakage levels appreciably above the limit will have no known effect on HUMAN health.
    All Microwave Ovens Have at least 2 Safety Interlocks which stop the generation of Microwave Energy Immediately if the door is open
    Extensive Research has Provided no Substantiated Evidence that Microwave Exposure at any Level either Causes or Promotes Cancer.

  • While there is no Requirement for Recurrent Testing of Non Commercial Microwave Ovens, Regular Visual Inspections are Recommended

  • Do not attempt to repair or modifications to the electrical or mechanical systems of any Microwave Oven
    When a unit is suspected to be faulty it should be at once disconnected from power & locked out approved using lock out procedures.
    Any irreparable Microwave oven shal be made inoperable by cutting the plug off
