Our microwave oven calibration service is proving extremely popular with many business types, including food manufacturers, food processing companies, and hospitality environments like hotels and restaurants.
By investing in the necessary equipment to perform this type of calibration, we can calibrate your microwave ovens to the requirements of BS EN 60705. This involves our engineers checking for inconsistencies in the appliance’s power levels, temperature, and time.
By following the method set out in BS EN 60705, AML perform a calibration to determine the actual power outputted by the microwave oven. This is important as even new microwave ovens often don’t output the power stated on the label.
Alex Leeson (Managing Director of AML Instruments) highlighted the importance of this unique service to the food industry.
“Using calibrated microwaves in food development and food testing kitchens is critical to the safe development of new food recipes and cooking instructions for the consumer. By scheduling regular calibration, food businesses can ensure their food is safe for consumption, maintain consistent and predictable results (especially for large batches), and comply with regulator standards. Uncalibrated microwaves can pose serious health risks, so I urge all quality assurance managers to schedule regular calibration checks to ensure food is being heated to the correct temperatures.”
As well as microwave ovens, AML have also calibrated thermal ovens to the requirements of BS EN 60350-1 for many years.
