What is Electrical Test and Tag? And why is it Essential?
Electrical test and tagging is the process of inspecting and testing portable electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. Under the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, employers have a legal "duty of care" to provide a safe working environment. This includes ensuring all plug-in electrical equipment is safe and regularly maintained.
Failing to do so can result in:
- Serious Electric Shock: Endangering your staff, clients, and visitors.
- Electrical Fires: Faulty appliances are a leading cause of workplace fires.
- Heavy Fines: Breaching WH&S regulations can lead to significant penalties.
- Voided Insurance: Insurers may deny claims if electrical compliance is not maintained.
Our test and tag services in Melbourne are the most effective way to identify and eliminate these risks, giving you complete peace of mind.
Our Comprehensive Electrical Maintenance Services in Melbourne
Visual Inspection
Our technician performs a detailed visual check of each appliance, looking for any physical damage, including frayed cords, cracked plugs, or signs of overheating.
Durable Tagging
Once an item has passed all tests, we affix a durable tag. This tag clearly displays the test date, the technician's ID, and the date the next test and tag service is due.
Electrical Testing
Using calibrated Portable Appliance Testers (PATs), we conduct a series of tests. This includes checks for earth continuity, insulation, and polarity.
Compliance Reporting
We provide a comprehensive digital asset register and compliance report. This log lists every appliance tested and its pass/fail status and serves as your official record.

ELECTRICAL TEST AND TAG FAQs
The required frequency depends entirely on the workplace environment. For example, an office or 'hostile' environment might be 12 months, while a construction or manufacturing environment requires testing every 3-6 months. We will assess your site and advise on the correct schedule based on the AS/NZS 3760:2022 standard.
Any electrical appliance with a flexible cord and a plug that connects to a standard power outlet needs testing. This includes computers, monitors, printers, power boards, extension leads, kitchen appliances (kettles, microwaves), and all trade tools.
According to the standard, new items purchased from a reputable supplier are considered "safe" and do not need to be tested upon purchase. However, they must be tagged with a "New to Service" tag and entered into your asset register to align with your next testing cycle.
If an appliance fails, it is immediately tagged with a "DANGER - DO NOT USE" tag and removed from service. Our licensed electrician can often quote to repair the item on the spot or advise on a replacement, ensuring your workplace remains both safe and productive.
No. We understand that shutting down IT equipment is highly disruptive. Our technicians use modern PAT testers that can perform a specific test on sensitive equipment (like servers and PCs) without needing to power them down, ensuring no loss of work or data.
