(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Calibration of Microwave Ovens (Withdrawn 2024)
Standard Test Method for Calibration of Microwave Ovens (Withdrawn 2024)
ABSTRACT
This test method covers the apparatuses required, and standard procedures and calculations involved in the calibration of microwave ovens designed for both home and commercial use. It was developed for use in the evaluation of volatile and nonvolatile components of microwave susceptor packages. There are, however, no recognized standards by which to estimate bias of this test method.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is applicable to microwave ovens designed for both home and commercial use. It was developed for use in the evaluation of volatile and nonvolatile components of microwave susceptor packages.
1.2 This test method was collaboratively evaluated with microwave ovens with nominal output ratings of 700 W.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This test method was applicable to microwave ovens designed for both home and commercial use. It was developed for use in the evaluation of volatile and nonvolatile components of microwave susceptor packages.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F02 on Primary Barrier Packaging, this test method was withdrawn in April 2024. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by industry.
