From a RF Health and Safety point of view, why is a microwave oven
allowed with just an interlock on the door and not allowed for a RF
enclosure for EMC?
I suspect the H&S man thought of flashing lights (which are more
appropriate for hazardous open areas where access is not restricted by
solid metal walls) but not of interlocks.
Human Exposure Limit will not apply if no human is in RF chamber when
RF is on.
Of course. Unless you subscribe to the 'all radiation is gamma rays'
delusion - that the radiation soaks into the building structure and is
re-emitted later.
