Ravinder The IEC standard for microwave ovens is IEC 60335-2-25, this allows a maximum leakage of 50W/m2 at 50mm or more from the external surface of the microwave oven. I tested a few of these a few years ago and found levels well below the above limit even at closer than 50mm. I am sure that the models I tested will have been superceded a long time ago, this cannot be applied to any specific samples available now. The manufacturers may be able to give you some idea of measurements.
