Professional electrical testing and tagging services for safety and compliance.
Electrical safety isn’t something to take lightly, especially in workplaces, commercial premises, and rental properties where the risk of electrical faults can pose serious hazards. That’s where electrical testing and tagging play a crucial role.
Whether you manage a business, a construction site, or a public facility, ensuring all portable electrical appliances and equipment are safe and compliant with Australian Standards is not only best practice – it’s often a legal requirement.
What is electrical testing and tagging?
Testing and tagging involves inspecting and electrically testing all portable electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. Once tested, each item is tagged with a durable label that records the inspection date, the next due test, and the technician’s details.
Our licensed electricians provide effective testing for a wide range of items, including:
- Portable appliances (e.g. kettles, power tools, computers)
- Workplace electrical equipment
- Extension cords and power boards
- RCD (residual current device) safety switches
- Three-phase and single-phase equipment
Why electrical testing and tagging is important.
Electrical testing and tagging is essential for ensuring a safe and compliant workplace. It helps prevent electrical accidents such as shocks, burns, and fires, while also minimising the risk of equipment failure and costly downtime. By staying up to date with workplace health and safety regulations, businesses not only meet their legal obligations but also gain peace of mind knowing their electrical systems and appliances are operating safely and reliably.
Testing and tagging is essential across a wide range of industries and environments, including offices, commercial premises, construction and trade sites, hospitality and retail businesses, medical and healthcare facilities, educational institutions, events, temporary workspaces, and rental properties.
Even home-based businesses and sole traders can benefit from having their electrical equipment professionally tested to ensure safety, compliance, and reliability.
How often should equipment be tested and tagged?
The frequency of testing depends on the environment and the type of equipment used. For example:
- Construction sites – Every 3 months
- Factories and workshops – Every 6 months
- Office equipment – Every 12 months
- Low-risk environments (e.g. homes) – Every 2–5 years
As qualified and licensed electricians, we follow the AS/NZS 3760:2022 standard for in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment, ensuring each item is thoroughly inspected, tested, and recorded.
