Test and tag is a process where electrical appliances are inspected and tested for safety and compliance with specific standards. This process involves visually inspecting the appliance, conducting several electrical tests to check for faults, and attaching a tag with test date to confirm the item has been tested, and to let future test and taggers know when retesting is required. Test and tag services are critical to preventing electrical accidents by ensuring appliances and equipment are safe for use.
The frequency of test and tag services depends on the type of environment, the relevant Australian industry standards, and the equipment’s exposure to risk. For instance, in environments like construction sites, testing might be required every three months due to the high risk and heavy use. In contrast, a more controlled environment such as an office might require testing every five years. The guidelines provided by AS/NZS 3760:2010 outline specific intervals based on different environments and equipment types.
Test and tag services must only be carried out by qualified electricians who’ve undergone test and tag courses that cover the relevant Australian standards and use of testing equipment.
Most electrical equipment that can be connected to a power supply by a flexible cord will likely require testing and tagging. This includes a wide range of devices from portable hand-held tools to stationary appliances, as well as residual current devices (RCDs). The aim is to ensure any electrical equipment used in the workplace or provided as rental is regularly maintained and safe for use.
If an item fails the test and tag process, it is immediately tagged as ‘failed’ or ‘defective’ and should be removed from use until it has been repaired, replaced, or disposed of safely. The failure is also recorded, and it is the responsibility of the workplace manager or owner to ensure the item is not used until it has been deemed safe.
