        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

        How often is testing and tagging?

        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.

        How long does test and tag last?

        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.

        How often should your electrics be checked?

        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.
