How Our Test and Tag Process Works
he thoroughness that guarantees long-term electrical safety when completing Test and Tag services.
Step 1: Visual Inspection at Your Auckland Workplace
Our registered electrical worker examines each appliance for visible damage, including cracked plugs, frayed cords, or exposed wiring. This first stage identifies obvious electrical hazards before formal testing begins, forming the foundation of a compliant Test and Tag process.
Step 2: Electrical Testing Using Calibrated Equipment
We perform a series of precise tests using portable appliance testers to check earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity. These checks detect hidden faults that aren’t visible to the eye, ensuring equipment remains safe and compliant. Only trained professionals can perform this work to meet workplace safety standards.
Step 3: Professional Tagging and Documentation
Each appliance that passes testing receives a durable tag displaying the test date, next due date, and technician details. Any failed items are clearly marked and removed from service to prevent hazards. A comprehensive compliance report is provided for your records, detailing all results and confirming safety status.
Step 4: Comprehensive Digital Reporting
Within 24 hours, you receive detailed digital documentation outlining test results, safety recommendations, and guidance for ongoing compliance. Regular maintenance and scheduled re-testing ensure your electrical equipment remains safe, compliant, and ready for audit at any time.
New Zealand Electrical Safety Regulations You Need to Know
In New Zealand, electrical safety is governed by strict regulations designed to protect both people and property in the workplace. The Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 outline clear requirements to ensure all electrical equipment and appliances are safe and fit for use. One of the most effective ways to ensure long-term electrical safety is through regular Test and Tag procedures, as recommended under Regulation 26, helping businesses identify issues early and maintain safe equipment.
The AS/NZS 3760 standard further details how electrical appliances should be tested, tagged, and maintained, including the correct procedures and testing intervals. By following these standards and carrying out Test and Tag at the required frequency, businesses reduce electrical risk, meet compliance obligations, and create a safer environment for their teams. Keeping up with these requirements isn’t just about legal compliance — it’s an investment in long-term safety, reliability, and peace of mind.
Electrical Testing Methods We Use
Our approach to electrical safety combines advanced technology with expert knowledge to deliver thorough and reliable results. Our technicians use state-of-the-art portable appliance testers to conduct comprehensive electrical testing on all types of electrical equipment and appliances. This process includes both visual inspections and in-depth electrical testing, following the strict protocols set out in the AS/NZS 3760 standard.
In addition to standard testing, we utilize thermal imaging technology to identify potential issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as overheating components or hidden faults. Every test and tagging procedure is meticulously documented, and our detailed reporting ensures you have a clear record of your compliance with New Zealand’s electrical safety regulations. With our skilled technicians and robust testing methods, you can be confident that your workplace is meeting the highest standards of electrical safety.
Test and Tag Frequency: How Often Should You Test?
Determining how often to test and tag your electrical appliances depends on the type of equipment and the environment in which it operates. For example, electrical equipment used on a construction site or in damp conditions requires more frequent testing due to the higher risk of electrical hazards, while office equipment such as computers may only need to be tested annually.
The AS/NZS 3760 standard offers clear guidance on the recommended intervals for testing and tagging, and our technicians can help you develop a schedule tailored to your business’s specific needs. Regular and frequent testing is essential to ensure that all electrical equipment remains safe for use and compliant with New Zealand regulations. We typically recommend testing and tagging every 3-6 months for high-risk environments, and at least annually for lower-risk settings, to maintain a safe workplace and prevent potential hazards before they arise.
Electrical Safety Switches and RCDs: Protecting Your Workplace
Electrical safety switches and Residual Current Devices (RCDs) play a crucial role in workplace protection. These devices instantly disconnect power when a fault is detected, helping to prevent electrical shocks and other serious risks. Our technicians are trained in the installation, maintenance, and compliance testing of RCDs and safety switches as part of our Test and Tag services, ensuring every device functions correctly and delivers the highest level of electrical protection.
We also guide you in selecting the right safety switches for your workplace and provide ongoing support to keep them operating as they should. Regular RCD inspection and scheduled Test and Tag procedures help maintain a safe work environment, support compliance requirements, and demonstrate your commitment to protecting staff, visitors, and property.
Comprehensive Reporting and Record-Keeping for Your Peace of Mind
Accurate reporting and thorough record-keeping are essential for maintaining electrical safety and demonstrating compliance with New Zealand regulations. Our technicians provide detailed reports for every testing and tagging service, documenting the condition of each piece of electrical equipment and noting any faults or hazards identified during the process.
We maintain secure, up-to-date records of all testing and tagging activities, making it easy for you to access compliance documentation whenever needed. After each service, you’ll receive a certificate of compliance, giving you confidence that your workplace meets all relevant electrical safety standards. Our comprehensive reporting and record-keeping systems are designed to give you peace of mind, knowing your business is protected and fully compliant with New Zealand’s electrical safety requirements.
