What Needs To be Tested-And-Tagged And How Often?

Generally speaking, most portable electrical appliances need to be tested. So If it has a flexible cord and a removable plug, we will test it! Electrical appliances fall into two classes. and both are tested:

  • Class I: Earthed appliances, i.e. kettles, toasters, irons, etc.
  • Class II: Double insulated appliances, i.e. most drills, hairdryers, etc. – usually identified with a double square symbol

Testing can be conducted every 3, 5, 12 months or 5 years. However, the frequency of testing depends on the environment and the appliance. Workplace risk assessments can also affect the frequency of testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Testing and tagging of electrical appliances and equipment frequently is actually mandatory for every company in Australia irrespective to the industry they belong to. It is crucial that owners of the company manage the testing and tagging of their appliances effectively after each and every few months for ensuring a safe environment at the workplace. The Australian workplace safety standards give us an idea of the intervals at which the appliances must be tested and tagged out in the different industries.

For ensuring that electrical appliances function properly and come with no danger to the our lives, it is important to have all of them tested and tagged every 6 months.

It will depend on how old your house or workplace is and the number of appliances and equipment present in it. Usually most electricians will suggest checking your electrics every 3-5 years but you must test the GFCI outlets two times in a year at least at your home or office by pushing the button of test or reset.

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.
