How Does Test & Tag Work?

Our fully qualified professional can visually inspect your electrical appliances for any damage, as well as perform stringent electrical testing using a Portable Appliance Tester. This ensures your equipment remains in safe working order at all times. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your equipment is working well and your staff and customers are safe from electrical dangers.

We will supply a record of all equipment tested and then results and when the next testing will be required.

All faulty equipment will be highlighted so that you can easily see what needs to be replaced or repaired.

Electrical equipment must be regularly inspected and tested by a competent person to identify damage, wear and detect electrical faults.

AS/NZS 3760

In service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment and RCDs, outlines inspection, testing and tagging methods.
‍
Just as important, the AS/NZS 3760 standard (Table 2.4 shown below) should be seen as a minimum test and tag requirement. A lot of workplaces and company owners will have different test and tag frequencies because of their own risk management and OHS planning. Likewise, some of these industries might require you to use certain Test and Tag Colours.

For the most common environments, we recommend the following frequencies:

3 months: building, construction and demolition – this requires the most frequent testing due to it being considered a harsh environment and therefore an appliance being damaged is more likely compared to other settings.
6 months: factories, warehouses, and production – this type of an environment isn’t considered as harsh, but because appliances are often used constantly it needs to be tested every 6 months.
12 months: an environment where the equipment/supply cord is prone to flexing or open to abuse – this is often referred to as a hostile environment as the appliance can be overused and is therefore exposed to abuse by the user, as well as dust, general deterioration and the weather.
5 Yearly: an environment where the equipment/supply cord is not prone to flexing or open to abuse – this is commonly referred to as a non-hostile environment – a typical example of this might be a company’s server room.

The managing electrical risks in the workplace code of practice (PDF, 1337.36 KB) provides more information on inspection and testing of electrical equipment.

Electrical Risks are:

Electric Shock – Causing Injury or Death. The electric shock maybe received direct or indirect contact, tracking through or across a medium or by arcing. Or Shock from Step touch potential.
Fire – Resulting from Electrical Fault. Arcing or explosion causing burns.
Toxic Gases – Causing injury or Death. Burning and Arcing associated with electrical equipment may release various gases and contaminants.

Even the briefest contact with electricity at 50 volts for alternating current (V a.c.) or 120 volts for direct current (V d.c.) can have serious consequences for a person’s health and safety. High voltage shocks (involving more than 1000 V a.c. or 1500 V d.c.) can cause contact burns and damage to internal organs. Electric shocks may also lead to other injuries, including falls from ladders, scaffolds, or other elevated work platforms. Other injuries or illnesses may include muscle spasms, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, collapse, and unconsciousness. Workers using electricity may not be the only ones at risk—faulty electrical equipment and poor electrical installations can lead to fires that may also cause death or injury to others.

To Mick, Kim and the entire team thank you so much for the professionalism shown when recently replacing my tile roof with colorbond. The entire team have been friendly and professional with the work being completed on time despite the team working on a 40degree Celsius day. It was a pleasure dealing with Kimick Holdings and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.
