What this mark means
A manufacturer’s microwave-use symbol indicates suitability under the stated conditions. Drawings can vary between brands. Verify the specific container, lid, venting instructions, power and temperature restrictions.
Before using this resource
- Verify the specific container, lid, venting instructions, power and temperature restrictions.
- Obtain the approved usage artwork from the product supplier; icon styles are not universal.
- Keep the supplier’s documented use conditions with the packaging proof.
A detail worth checking
A resin code or glass-and-fork symbol does not establish microwave suitability. Check the lid separately.

Useful to know
Is there one universal microwave-safe symbol?
Manufacturers use different drawings and conditions. Read the exact product’s instructions rather than relying on a similar-looking icon.
Does downloading the artwork give me permission to use it?
Use the responsible organisation’s specification and any applicable licensing terms. A reference image does not establish product approval.
