Testing and Tagging in Ballarat to AS/NZS 3760:2022
Got equipment in Ballarat that’s due for testing? Our local technicians come to your workplace, test everything that plugs in, and tag it before they leave. We’re part of the team delivering test and tag services across Victoria.
Each item is inspected and tested to AS/NZS 3760:2022, and we can do your RCD testing while we’re there. You’ll get a digital report and asset register at the end, ready to show WorkSafe or your insurer.
It costs $2.20 to $3.90 per item +GST, with a $125 minimum. We’ll book a time that suits your business, and send you a reminder before the next round is due.
Ballarat Test and Tag Services
From the staff room kettle to the workshop grinder, if it runs on a lead, we test it. Extension leads and power boards too, since they’re often the most worn items on site. Every item gets a visual inspection and an electrical test, then a tag with its test date and next due date. Learn more about our portable appliance testing.
Construction and demolition sites follow a separate standard, AS/NZS 3012, and we test to that as well.
RCD Testing in Ballarat
A safety switch that trips too slowly won’t protect anyone. We test every RCD with calibrated equipment to confirm it trips within the required time, which a simple button press can’t tell you.
How often it needs doing depends on your site and the RCD type. Our guide on RCD testing requirements in Victoria covers the details.
More Safety Testing for Ballarat Workplaces
Test and tag is just one box to tick. We also look after your emergency lights, smoke alarms and staff room microwaves, so you’re not juggling different providers.
Emergency Exit Light Testing
Exit lights need to stay on when the mains power doesn’t. We run a discharge test on each fitting to AS/NZS 2293.2 and report any that fall short. See emergency exit light testing.
Smoke Alarm Testing
Each alarm is tested and cleaned, batteries are replaced where needed, and we flag any alarm that’s reached its replacement age. More on smoke alarm testing.
Microwave Leakage Testing
A microwave can pass a standard electrical test and still leak radiation through a damaged seal. We check both, with leakage tested to AS/NZS 60335.2.25:2020. Read about microwave leakage testing.
Test and Tag Ballarat FAQs
How much do people charge for test and tagging?
We charge $2.20 to $3.90 per item +GST in Ballarat, with a $125 minimum. The rate depends on the type of equipment, and we’ll quote within 2 business hours.
Can any electrician do a test and tag?
Yes, but you don’t need an electrician. AS/NZS 3760:2022 requires a competent person, meaning someone trained in inspecting and testing equipment who uses calibrated gear.
How long does it take to test and tag?
Most items take a few minutes each. A whole site can take several hours, depending on how many items you have.
Is test and tag required by law in Victoria?
On construction and demolition sites, yes, under Victoria’s OHS Regulations. For other workplaces, the OHS Act 2004 requires electrical equipment to be kept safe, and testing to AS/NZS 3760:2022 is the recognised way to show it.
How often does equipment need testing?
It depends on the environment. Construction gear is tested every three months, while equipment in low risk areas that rarely moves can go up to five years.
What happens if something fails?
It’s tagged out of service straight away so it can’t be used, then it needs repairing and retesting, or replacing.
What colour test tags are used in Victoria?
Red for December to February, green for March to May, blue for June to August, and yellow for September to November. Our Victorian test and tag colour chart explains more.
