Abstract

The role of the Division of Electronic Products, Bureau of Radiological Health, in carrying out the provisions of the Federal Performance Standard for Microwave Ovens is discussed. This role involves the review of manufacturer’s testing programs, testing of ovens in the divisions laboratories, examinations of prototypes submitted to the Federal Communications Commission for type approval, and field testing of ovens in typical use situations. The highlights of visits in 1970 will be summarised. The importance of well trained, properly equipped, repair personnel is stressed.
