Test and Tag Darwin: Electrical Safety and Compliance Services
Running a business in Darwin keeps you busy enough without chasing compliance paperwork. That's where we come in. Our technicians come to your site anywhere across Darwin, Palmerston and the wider Northern Territory, test your portable appliances, power tools, extension leads and power boards, and leave you with everything you need to show you're compliant.
It starts from $125 +GST for your first 32 items. Call us on 13 11 05 or send through a quote request, and we'll get back to you with a confirmed price within 2 business hours.
What Is Test and Tag?
Test and tag is how you know your electrical equipment is safe to keep using. Our technician checks each item by hand for damage, then tests it with a calibrated portable appliance tester (PAT). Anything that passes gets a tag showing the test date, the result and when it's due again. Anything that doesn't is taken out of use, so nobody on your team gets hurt by it.
Every test we do follows AS/NZS 3760:2022, the Australian Standard for testing electrical equipment in the workplace.

Is Test and Tag a Legal Requirement in the NT?
In the Northern Territory, NT WorkSafe’s guidance on test and tag explains that testing requirements depend on where and how electrical equipment is used. Equipment plugged into a socket outlet and used in a hostile environment, such as a wet, dusty or damage-prone workplace, generally requires regular inspection and testing by a competent person. Routine testing and tagging is not mandated for electrical equipment in lower risk settings such as a clean, dry office. Workplace safety switches have separate testing requirements.
Our technician can assess the equipment at your site, carry out the required tests and provide records showing the results and next test dates.

It depends on your equipment and where it's used. Construction and demolition sites need testing every three months, while offices and shops are tested less often. We'll set the right schedule for your site on our first visit and remind you when you're due.
In most workplaces, yes. NT WHS regulation 150 requires plug in equipment used where it could be damaged to be regularly inspected and tested by a competent person, and NT WorkSafe enforces it.
You can, but only if the person doing it is competent, meaning properly trained, using calibrated equipment and keeping the right records. Most businesses find it quicker and safer to book us, so the testing and paperwork are done properly the first time.
A digital compliance report with a full asset register, the pass and fail result for every item, a list of anything taken out of service, your next test due dates and a Certificate of Compliance. It's ready to show NT WorkSafe, your insurer or an auditor.
