FAQ
Electrical Test and Tag Frequently Asked Questions
What is electrical test and tag?+
Electrical test and tag is the process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances using calibrated PAT testing equipment. Items that pass are fitted with a safety tag showing the test date, retest date, and technician details. It's required under Australian workplace safety laws.
What standard covers electrical test and tag in Australia?+
Electrical test and tag is governed by AS/NZS 3760:2022 In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. This standard sets out the requirements for inspection intervals, testing methods, and record keeping.
How often does electrical test and tag need to be done?+
Frequency is determined entirely by your specific workplace environment and how prone the equipment is to wear and tear. According to the AS/NZS 3760 standard: Construction, Demolition & Hire Equipment: Every 3 months (due to the extreme harshness of active sites). Factories, Workshops & Warehouses: Every 6 months (covering production floors, manufacturing areas, and assembly workshops). Commercial Kitchens & Hospitality: Every 6 months (due to high moisture, heat, grease, and heavy cord flexing). Retail, Schools & Standard Offices: Every 12 months for equipment with flexible cords prone to movement (like vacuum cleaners, shared chargers, or kitchen kettles). For static office equipment that stays plugged in and untouched (like desktop towers), the interval can extend up to 5 years. We will assess your workplace during our visit to map out the correct compliant schedule for every single asset, and we'll send you automatic reminders ahead of time so you never fall behind.
