Test and Tagging in Bendigo to AS/NZS 3760:2022
Looking for someone to test and tag your gear in Bendigo? Our local technicians come to your site, test every lead, power board and appliance, and tag it on the spot. It’s part of our test and tag services across Victoria.
Every item is checked against AS/NZS 3760:2022, and we can run RCD testing on your safety switches in the same visit. When we’re done, you get a digital report and asset register, so your records are sorted if WorkSafe or your insurer ever asks.
Pricing is $2.20 to $3.90 per item +GST, with a $125 minimum. We’ll fit around your opening hours and remind you before your next test is due.
Bendigo Test and Tag Services
Anything with a plug is fair game: office computers, kettles and microwaves, cleaning machines, power tools, extension leads and power boards. Each item gets a visual check, an electrical test, then a tag showing when it was tested and when it’s due next. That’s our portable appliance testing service, done on site so nothing leaves your workplace.
On a construction or demolition site? Your gear is tested to AS/NZS 3012, the standard written for building sites.
RCD Testing in Bendigo
Pressing the test button on a safety switch only tells you the button works. We use calibrated equipment to check each RCD actually trips fast enough to protect someone from a shock.
The right interval depends on your workplace and the type of RCD you have. Our guide to RCD testing requirements in Victoria explains it.
Other Safety Testing for Bendigo Businesses
Most workplaces need more than test and tag. We also check your emergency lights, smoke alarms and microwaves, so one team looks after the lot.
Emergency Exit Light Testing
If the power drops, your exit lights have to keep your people moving safely. We discharge test each fitting to AS/NZS 2293.2 and flag any that fail. More on emergency exit light testing.
Smoke Alarm Testing
We test and clean each alarm, replace batteries where needed, and flag alarms that are due for replacement. See our smoke alarm testing service.
Microwave Leakage Testing
Worn door seals on a busy staff room microwave can let radiation escape. We test and tag it, then check for leakage to AS/NZS 60335.2.25:2020. Read more about microwave leakage testing.
Test and Tag Bendigo FAQs
How much does test and tag cost in Bendigo?
$2.20 to $3.90 per item +GST, with a $125 minimum charge. The rate depends on the type of equipment. Give us a rough item count and we’ll quote within 2 business hours.
Can anyone perform PAT testing?
Not just anyone. AS/NZS 3760:2022 requires a competent person: someone trained to inspect and test electrical equipment, using calibrated gear. You don’t need to be a licensed electrician.
What is the Australian standard for test tags?
AS/NZS 3760:2022. It covers how equipment is inspected and tested, and what the tag must show, including who tested it, when, and when it’s next due. Construction sites also follow AS/NZS 3012.
Is test and tag a legal requirement in Victoria?
On construction and demolition sites, yes, under Victoria’s OHS Regulations. Everywhere else, the OHS Act 2004 requires you to keep electrical equipment safe, and testing to AS/NZS 3760:2022 is the accepted way to prove it.
How often should equipment be tested?
It comes down to the environment. Construction gear needs testing every three months, while equipment in low risk areas that rarely moves can go up to five years.
Do brand new appliances need testing?
Not straight away. New equipment gets a visual check and a “new to service” tag, then it’s tested at its first scheduled interval.
What happens if an item fails?
It’s tagged out of service on the spot so nobody uses it. It then needs repairing and retesting, or replacing.
How long does test and tag take?
Each item usually takes a few minutes. A full site can take several hours depending on how many items you have.
What are the test and tag colours 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 has more detail.
