A Guide to Test and Tag

Test and Tag - an Introduction

Testing & Tagging is the process of inspecting, testing, tagging, and recording of electrical equipment and appliances. This ensures your electrical appliances and equipment are safe to use.

Meeting the health and safety requirements of your business, employees and clients can be an extremely daunting task. We are required to meet numerous regulations and standards - all of which contribute to the safety of your customers and employees in the workplace. Electrical appliance safety is essential.

Compliance

The specification for Test & Tag is documented in the Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 3760 & 3012 - "In-Service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment."

What is involved?

Testing and inspection can simply be categorised into three activities:

 Testing – This is usually done with the use of a Portable Appliance Tester

 Tagging - Applying durable test tag labels to the equipment lead, specifying test date and results

 Recording - Documenting results, with the aid of computer software
