Electrical Test & Tag Sydney

Yes. Testing and tagging is mandatory for building and construction, demolition, marine, and mining industries and is required every 3 months. These are high-risk industries, and equipment needs to be checked often because electrical devices are used frequently and in damaging environments.

Testing and tagging is not mandatory for other industries; however, it is recommended for OH&S and WH&S for insurance purposes and to avoid electrical accidents. In addition, it is essential to note that business owners have a duty of care to their employees and the public and, for safety reasons, should have their electrical equipment tested and tagged.

No. We only turn off individual appliances during testing and tagging. However, there may be a few minutes of downtime for larger equipment when we test and tag your equipment.

Yes. We deliver a comprehensive inspection report once testing and tagging is complete. We provide these electronically but request a hard copy. It outlines failed or faulty equipment and locations for seamless location and repair in the future.

When we find a faulty electrical item that requires repair or replacement, it will be clearly labelled with a ‘FAIL – DO NOT USE’ label. Your team will be informed as soon as possible in the event of a failed test.

Yes. If an employee uses a corded 240V piece of equipment on work premises, it should be tested and tagged to avoid accident or injury and company liability.

We can test and tag any electrical equipment with a cord that plugs into a 240V power point. This includes but is not limited to portable appliances, both in your place of work and on-site, and static electrical equipment, such as computers, factory equipment and machinery, fridges, microwaves, monitors, and printers.

According to Table 4 of the AS/NZS 3760 Standards, construction and building equipment should be checked every 3 months, and cleaning equipment, factories, manufacturing, and workshops should be checked every 6 months.

For electrical equipment where the cord is subject to frequent flexing or is in a hostile environment, it should be checked every 12 months. In light of commercial and residential type areas, they should be checked every 2 years, and if the cord is not subject to flexing during everyday use and is in a non-hostile environment, they should be tested and tagged every 5 years.

If you want further clarity, contact our team to book an inspection of your equipment. Then, we can put in place a compliant testing and tagging schedule.

The price of our test and tag service in Sydney will vary based on the number of electrical items you have. Our friendly team can provide a more accurate quote if you have a list on hand, or we can inspect your site.

This will depend on the number of electrical items and appliances on-site. We can test and tag 10 items per hour as a general rule of thumb. Testing and tagging time can also be reduced if bulky furniture and items are cleared before our electricians arrive on site.
