Furthering its leadership in the home appliances sector, Samsung Electronics became the first in the world to receive a microwave certification mark for anti-bacterial technology, recognising the company's ceramic enamel cavity inside. The Hohenstein Institute, an internationally recognised research and service center for hygiene and biotechnology in Germany, tested Samsung's microwaves and validated its anti-bacterial performance.
Due to the high level of durability, the ceramic enamel cavity found in Samsung's microwave does not come off, turn rusty or crack, thus preventing it from becoming dirty. Further, the ceramic enamel cavity does not discolorate even in high temperatures and prevents bacteria from proliferation. The Hohenstein Institute has accredited that Samsung's microwave oven has added anti-bacterial agents to ceramic enamel cavity, which has high durability against corrosion.
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) acknowledged that Samsung Electronics' anti-bacterial ceramic enamel cavity ensures a level of durability that is at least 7.5 times higher than iron plate to which epoxy coating is applied.-PR
