How is testing and tagging done?

Testing and tagging of electrical equipment can be done in 5 steps:

  • Inspection: During the inspection, the first thing that should be considered is for the asset to match its description. If otherwise, then the problem should be detected. The asset should be visually checked for obvious wear or damage. Examples include:
    • Lost screws
    • Lost safety covers
    • Bare wires
    • Teared plugs
    • Defaced or missing warning labels or serial numbers
    • Cracked housing
  • Testing: Electrical appliances are comprehensively tested for dangers, polarity, insulation, voltage leakage and earth continuity using a portable appliance tester (PAT). Mostly they are not visible to the naked eye.
  • Testing Result: PAT will then provide the relevant result of each test
  • Tagging: The device will then be labelled with a test and tag sticker after it is passed. The sticker will indicate ID number, pulse logo and phone number, name and phone number of operator, date and time, along with next test due date.
  • Detailed Report: At last, a detailed report of your device will be provided to you, showing the status of your electrical device. An asset management register can also utilize this report.

Test and Tag Castlehill

Who should do testing and tagging?

Electrical appliances of mining, construction and demolition industries should be tested and tagged after every 3 months. It is because the harsh nature of the industry will wear the equipment at a faster rate. Though for other workplaces, test and tag is not a legislative procedure. But if a worker is to get hurt from the untested appliance, the employer will be held accountable. Therefore, regular testing of electrical equipment is necessary.

Who can test and tag electrical appliances?

People often misunderstand that only electricians are responsible for testing and tagging. However, in Australia, any proficient person can do test and tag. Any person who has undertaken a test and tag course and has gained skills and knowledge on using a PAT is considered proficient and can perform testing and tagging.

Test and Tag Castlehill

Type of equipment to be tested and tagged:

Any device with a removable plug that is not of low voltage (should not exceed 50V) and has a flexible cable can be tested and tagged. Normally, electrical equipment is classified into two types:

  • Class-I is composed of earthed equipment, i.e. toasters, iron or kettles.
  • Class-II is composed of double insulated equipment usually labelled with either word “Double Insulation” or with the symbols (square within a square), i.e. hair dryers and mostly electric drills.

Our Services

Portable Appliance Testing

Portable appliance testing, ensures the safety of movable electrical devices. It involves two steps: visual inspection and electrical testing with a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT). This electronic test determines if the appliance is safe, providing a pass or fail result. It safeguards workplace individuals from electrical hazards like fires and shocks, promoting device longevity.

Safety Switch (RCD) Testing

RCD testing, also known as Residual Current Device testing, verifies the functionality of safety devices in electrical circuits. This involves testing the Residual Current Device (RCD) to ensure it effectively detects and responds to electrical faults, such as leakage currents. RCD testing helps prevent electric shocks and reduces the risk of electrical accidents.

Fire Extinguisher Testing

Fire extinguisher testing ensures the effectiveness of this vital firefighting tool. Merely having a fire extinguisher is insufficient; it must be in proper working condition. A malfunctioning extinguisher during an emergency can escalate a manageable fire into a dangerous situation. Conducted by professionals, testing includes visual inspections and integrity tests, documented in detailed reports.

Emergency Exit Light Testing

Emergency exit light testing verifies the functionality of crucial evacuation lighting systems. These lights guide occupants to safety during emergencies, such as fires or power outages. It ensures that exit routes remain clearly illuminated, facilitating safe evacuation. Testing involves inspecting and testing emergency lights to confirm they illuminate adequately and remain operational. Compliance with relevant safety standards, such as AS/NZS 2293.2:2019, is essential to ensure the effectiveness of emergency exit light systems.

Fire Blanket Testing

Fire blanket testing ensures the reliability of critical safety devices designed to extinguish small fires or smother flames on a person's clothing. Proper testing confirms that fire blankets deploy effectively and can withstand the heat of a fire without damage, ensuring their readiness in case of emergency. Conducted by trained professionals, testing typically involves visual inspections and integrity assessments, adhering to relevant safety standards to uphold effectiveness and compliance.

Microwave Leakage Testing

Microwave leakage testing ensures the safety of microwave ovens by detecting and measuring any radiation leaks. This crucial safety measure helps prevent potential harm to users and ensures compliance with safety regulations. Conducted using specialised equipment, testing involves assessing microwave emissions to verify they are within safe limits. Regular testing by professionals helps mitigate risks associated with microwave radiation exposure, promoting a safer environment for users.
