Cementing 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 in recognition of the company’s ceramic enamel cavity. 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. Furthermore, the ceramic enamel cavity does not discolour even in high temperatures and prevents bacteria. 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.
