Why Electrical Test and Tag Matters

Every year, faulty electrical equipment causes workplace injuries, fires, and even fatalities across Australia. Electrical test and tag is your first line of defence — a systematic process that identifies dangerous appliances before they cause harm.

Under Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation, employers in Sydney and NSW have a duty of care to ensure all electrical equipment is safe. Regular testing to AS/NZS 3760 demonstrates compliance and protects your business from liability.

Our Sydney-based technicians use the Seaward PAC3760 DL tester — the industry standard for portable appliance testing. Every test includes earth continuity, insulation resistance, and leakage current measurements.

We also provide complete fire safety inspection services and fire extinguisher servicing, so you can bundle electrical and fire compliance in one visit.

Electrical Test and Tag — Frequently Asked Questions

What is electrical test and tag?

Electrical test and tag is the process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances using calibrated PAT testing equipment. Items that pass are fitted with a safety tag showing the test date, retest date, and technician details. It's required under Australian workplace safety laws.

What standard covers electrical test and tag in Australia?

Electrical test and tag is governed by AS/NZS 3760:2022 — In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. This standard sets out the requirements for inspection intervals, testing methods, and record keeping.

How often does electrical test and tag need to be done?

Test and tag frequency is determined by your specific workplace environment and how prone the equipment is to wear and tear. Under AS/NZS 3760: Construction & demolition sites: every 3 months (due to the harshness of active sites). Hire equipment: before each hire. Factories, workshops & warehouses: every 6 months (production floors, manufacturing areas, assembly workshops). Commercial kitchens & hospitality: every 6 months (high moisture, heat, grease, and heavy cord flexing). Retail, schools & standard offices: every 12 months for equipment with flexible cords prone to movement (vacuum cleaners, shared chargers, kettles). Office static equipment (e.g. office monitors, server rooms): every 5 years. We'll assess your workplace during our visit to map out the correct compliant schedule for every single asset, and we'll send you automatic reminders ahead of time so you never fall behind.

What equipment do you use for electrical testing?

We use the Seaward PAC3760 DL — a professional-grade portable appliance tester designed specifically for AS/NZS 3760 compliance. It performs earth continuity, insulation resistance, and leakage current tests.

Do I get a certificate after electrical test and tag?

Yes. We provide same-day compliance certificates with full details of every item tested, including pass/fail results, test dates, and expiry dates. All reports are digital and audit-ready.

What happens if an appliance fails the test?

Failed items are tagged with a red 'FAIL' tag and taken out of service immediately. We'll advise whether the item can be repaired or needs to be replaced. This protects your staff and keeps you compliant.
