Test and tag inspections help prevent electrical accidents, ensuring workplace safety and compliance with regulations. It's crucial for businesses to maintain safe and functional equipment.
Who needs test and tag services?
Any business or organisation that uses electrical equipment, such as offices, factories, construction sites, and retail stores, needs test and tag services to ensure safety and compliance.
What does a test and tag inspection involve?
A test and tag inspection is a comprehensive process that ensures electrical equipment is safe to use. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of what it typically involves:
1. Visual Inspection: Our technicians begin by visually examining the equipment for any obvious signs of damage, wear, or defects.
2. Testing: Our technicians use specialised testing equipment to check the electrical integrity of the equipment. This involves measuring insulation resistance, earth continuity, and polarity to ensure the equipment is functioning correctly and safely.
3. Tagging: After the inspection and testing, the equipment is tagged with a durable label that indicates the test date and the next scheduled test date. The tag also includes information about the technician and the testing standards used.
4. Documentation: You will receive a detailed report that documents the results of the inspection and testing. This report includes information about any faults found.
Do you offer automated reminders for test and tag services?
Yes, we offer automated reminders for our test and tag services. These reminders help ensure that your equipment is tested and tagged on schedule, maintaining compliance with safety regulations. By setting up automated reminders, you can avoid missing critical inspection dates and reduce the risk of penalties for non-compliance. Our system will notify you when your next test is due, providing peace of mind and allowing you to focus on your core business operations.
Does my equipment need to be turned off for testing?
Yes, for safety reasons, most electrical equipment needs to be turned off during the testing process. Turning off the equipment helps prevent accidents and ensures accurate test results. Our technicians will usually advise you on the best time to schedule testing to minimise disruption to your operations.
How often should equipment be tested and tagged?
Frequency of testing depends on many factors including the type of equipment, how it is used, and the environment it is used in. This general guide should be read in conjunction with the applicable Australian Standard and relevant legislation.
• 3 Months – Building, construction and demolition
• 6 Months – Factories, workshop and production
• 12 Months – An environment where the equipment/supply cord is prone to flexing or open to abuse (heat, dust, moisture, flex)
• 5 yearly – An environment where the equipment/supply cord is not prone to flexing or open to abuse
• RCDs – Push button test 6 monthly. Operating trip time test 12 monthly.
