We have worked in all kinds of work environments including construction, demolition, commercial and industrial workplaces, offices, factories, workshops, across Brisbane and more.

What Type of Equipment Should Be Tested and Tagged?

This is one of the most common questions our clients ask. To sum it up, all electrical devices that have flexible cables, removable plugs, and are not low voltage should be tested and tagged including cord sets, portable RCDs, and extension leads.

Electrical equipment can be classified into two main categories:

• Class I (Earthed Appliances) such as kettles and irons.

• Class II (Double Insulated Appliances):
These appliances can be identified with either a symbol (A Square within a square)
or the words “Double Insulated” such as drills and dryers.

Notice that new equipment just needs a thorough visual inspection and tagging. They don’t need to be tested.

How Often Must Electrical Appliances Be Tested and Tagged?

The frequency of testing and tagging (also known as intervals) depends on the nature of your work environment. The AS/NZS 3760:2022 Australian Standard suggests the following frequencies for testing and tagging intervals. Notice that these recommendations are the minimum requirement.

Despite these intervals, some workplaces need to carry out a regular risk assessment. In other words, they can have their own specific testing and tagging frequencies. Usually, these frequencies are more than the previous recommendations. Of course, it is better to test and tag appliances more frequently to ensure the safety of employees and workers.

Type of Work Environment
The Recommended Interval
• Construction & Building
• Demolition
Quarterly/ every 3 months
• Factories
• Production
• Warehouse
Twice a year/ every 6 months
• Schools
• Offices
• Office Kitchens
• Anyplace where equipment and wiring are susceptible to abuse/misuse
Yearly
• Server rooms or where equipment and wiring are not susceptible to abuse/misuse/cable flexing
Every 5 Years

What Is a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT)?

A portable appliance tested or PAT is the main equipment used to test and tag electrical appliances. This device ensures the safety of electrical equipment by providing the electrician with certain results showing whether the equipment failed or passed certain tests.

Anyone can buy and use PAT testers. However, before you do purchase one, there are certain factors to consider such as:

  • The price of the PAT. The more, the better.
  • The level of functionality you need.
  • The features you want.

Before buying a tester, read all the online reviews to find out what you really need.

Of course, buying and using a PAT tester does not replace the need for a professional, licensed electrician to test your appliances. The Australian Standards are clear. A competent person who has taken test and tag courses and has a license is the only person who should professionally test and tag electrical appliances.

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.
