Scott, You might try relating the leakage level to the public exposure level of the ICNIRP recommendations.
I believe that the exposure limit is 1mW/cm2 and would suggest looking at the possibility that the user may stay near the unit for 6 minutes or more. I am not sure of the basis for the 5mW/cm2 under EN 60335-2-25 as it is not a specification I use.

Keep this in mind if you answer this message. According to EN 60335-2-25, the limit is 5mW/cm2 for type test. Is there any other limit for the life span of microwave oven?
