Appliance Safety Made Easy

Testing and tagging isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about knowing your equipment is safe to use every day. We test portable appliances, tools, leads and power boards for electrical faults, insulation resistance, polarity and overall function. If something fails the test, we’ll tag it clearly so you can arrange repairs or replacement.


Our services include:


  • Visual inspection for damage, wear and safety concerns.
  • Electrical testing using calibrated equipment.
  • Pass/fail tagging with date, technician ID and retest schedule.
  • Full digital reporting for compliance records.
  • Testing for tools, appliances, power cords, surge protectors and more.
  • Scheduling for one-off or regular workplace testing.


We work with businesses of all sizes, from single-operator sites to large facilities. Whether you need to meet AS/NZS 3760:2022 requirements or just want peace of mind, we’ve got you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should test and tag be done in a workplace?

    The frequency depends on the environment. For example, construction sites require testing every 3 months, while office environments typically require yearly testing. The key is assessing the level of risk—higher-risk environments need more frequent checks. Following AS/NZS 3760:2022 is recommended for compliance.

  • What does the test and tag process involve?

    Test and tag includes a visual inspection of each appliance followed by electrical testing with a portable appliance tester. This checks for earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity. If it passes, the item is tagged with the test date and next due date. Failures are clearly labelled and removed from use.

  • Is test and tag legally required in all businesses?

    While not all industries have mandated schedules, workplace health and safety laws require employers to ensure all equipment is safe to use. Test and tag is one of the most recognised ways to meet that duty of care, and many insurance providers and audits expect evidence of regular testing.
