Test & Tag Electrical – Safety & Compliance
Test and tag is essential for protecting your team, visitors, and workplace, and it’s a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013.
We thoroughly test all portable electrical equipment, including power tools, cords, and safety switches, to ensure compliance with relevant standards. For construction sites, we adhere to AS/NZS 3012, and for offices and general workplaces, we follow AS/NZS 3760.
Our trained technicians inspect and test each RCD (Residual Current Device), helping you select the right equipment and ensuring it operates correctly. The result? Safer tools, safer systems, and total peace of mind.
Compliance You Can Trust
All testing and tagging must be carried out in accordance with AS3760, the Australian Standard that defines how electrical equipment should be inspected and tested to ensure it is safe to use. Following this Standard helps businesses meet their WHS obligations while reducing the risk of electrical hazards in the workplace.
Staying compliant not only improves safety for staff and visitors, but also supports insurance requirements and due diligence. Failure to meet these standards can lead to increased risk, potential liability issues, and fines or penalties.
