Test and tag for schools and childcare
Test and Tag for Schools & Childcare Centres in Sydney
Schools, preschools and childcare centres carry a high duty of care and a lot of electrical equipment — classrooms, computer labs, staff rooms, canteens and, in schools, science and technology workshops. Most of it is tested and tagged every 12 months under AS/NZS 3760:2022, with harder-worked canteen and kitchen equipment on a shorter 6-month cycle. Rapid Test & Tag services Sydney education sites during school holidays or out of hours, so testing never interrupts learning or care.
What gets tested at a school or centre
- ✓Classrooms — computers, monitors, interactive panels, chargers, laminators, heaters and fans.
- ✓Computer and AV labs — workstations, projectors, device-charging trolleys and their leads.
- ✓Canteen and kitchen — appliances, urns, microwaves, fridges (harder-worked, 6-monthly).
- ✓Staff rooms and offices — kettles, microwaves, printers, chargers.
- ✓Science and technology workshops (schools) — lab and workshop equipment and leads.
- ✓Childcare play and care areas — sterilisers, bottle warmers, appliances, chargers.
- ✓Extension leads and power boards throughout (earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity checks).
Why schools and childcare test and tag
An education provider (a PCBU) has a work-health-and-safety duty to keep equipment safe for students, children and staff, and testing to AS/NZS 3760:2022 is the recognised way to meet it. In practice, many NSW schools, education departments and insurers expect current records, and childcare services carry a clear safety duty of care to the children in their care. Current, well-kept records are what an audit, an insurer or a parent-facing safety expectation relies on.
