This global standard outlines the methods for determining the available microwave output power and the efficiency of frequency conversion from electrical input in industrial microwave heating installations. It also specifies tests to evaluate the deposition of microwave power in the workload, specifically in microwave-only installations. This standard is applicable to industrial microwave heating equipment and installations within the frequency range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz.
The standard pertains to industrial microwave heating equipment that operates under normal load conditions. It does not apply to household appliances or similar uses (covered by IEC 60335-2-25) and commercial or laboratory use (covered by IEC 60335-2-90 and IEC 61 01 0-2-01 0 respectively).
