Test and tag for medical and healthcare

Test and Tag for Medical & Healthcare Practices in Sydney

Medical, dental and allied-health practices carry a high duty of care and a lot of everyday electrical equipment in reception, consult rooms, treatment areas and staff spaces. Rapid Test & Tag tests the general plug-in electrical equipment in your practice — computers, leads, power boards and appliances — to AS/NZS 3760:2022, discreetly and around patient hours, with records that support your practice accreditation.

Important: what we test (and what we don't)

We want to be clear up front, because it matters in a clinical setting. We test the general plug-in electrical equipment in a practice: reception and office gear, consult-room computers and monitors, chargers, extension leads and power boards, and kitchen and staff-room appliances.

We do not test patient-connected medical devices — electrical safety testing of medical electrical equipment is a separate, specialised field (covered by AS/NZS 3551 and carried out by biomedical technicians), and we won't pretend otherwise. If an item is a medical device, we'll tell you it sits outside test and tag and should go to a biomedical specialist. That honesty is part of doing the job properly.

What gets tested in a practice

  • ✓Reception and office — computers, monitors, printers, EFTPOS and their leads.
  • ✓Consult and treatment rooms — general plug-in equipment, lighting, chargers, fans and heaters (not patient-connected medical devices).
  • ✓Staff room and kitchen — kettles, microwaves, fridges, dishwashers (higher-use, tested more often).
  • ✓Cleaning equipment — vacuums and their leads.
  • ✓Extension leads and power boards throughout (earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity checks).

Why practices test and tag

A practice (a PCBU) has a work-health-and-safety duty to keep its electrical equipment safe for patients and staff, and testing to AS/NZS 3760:2022 is the recognised way to meet it for general equipment. In practice, accreditation and insurers commonly expect evidence of electrical safety, and current test-and-tag records are the straightforward way to show it at an accreditation visit or audit.

Discreet, around your patients

We attend before opening, after close or in a quiet window, work discreetly around reception and rooms, and provide same-day digital records and an asset register ready for your accreditation file. Work is carried out under licence TTT69067, fully insured.

What it costs

Our minimum is $120 + GST, which covers your first 30 items, with no call-out fee — enough for many single practices. Larger clinics and multi-site groups are quoted per item; see our pricing page, or send your practice location and rough item count for a fast quote.

Test and Tag for Medical & Healthcare — Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: November 2026

Do you test medical devices?

No. We test the general plug-in electrical equipment in a practice to AS/NZS 3760:2022. Patient-connected medical devices require specialised biomedical electrical safety testing (AS/NZS 3551), which is a separate service — we'll flag any item that falls into that category.

How often does a practice need test and tag?

Generally every 12 months for most equipment under AS/NZS 3760:2022, with harder-worked kitchen and cleaning items on a shorter 6-month cycle.

Will testing disrupt our patients?

No — we attend before opening, after close or in a quiet window and work discreetly around reception and rooms.

Does accreditation require it?

Accreditation and insurers commonly expect evidence that your electrical equipment is safe, and current test-and-tag records are a straightforward way to demonstrate it. We provide records ready for your accreditation file.

What general equipment do you test?

Reception and office computers and EFTPOS, consult-room plug-in equipment, staff-room and kitchen appliances, cleaning equipment, and all extension leads and power boards.
