What is Test and Tag?

Test and Tag is the process of inspecting and electrically testing portable electrical equipment to ensure it is safe for use in the workplace. It includes a visual inspection, electrical safety testing using specialised equipment, attaching a tag with the test result and next due date, and recording the outcome for compliance reporting.

Is Test and Tag required by law in New Zealand?

New Zealand law requires businesses to ensure electrical equipment is safe so far as is reasonably practicable under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010. Testing and tagging in line with the AS/NZS 3760 standard is widely recognised as best practice for demonstrating due diligence and managing electrical risk.

What equipment needs to be tested and tagged?

Any portable electrical equipment that connects to the power supply via a flexible cord and plug should be assessed for testing. This commonly includes power tools, extension leads, office equipment, kitchen appliances, workshop machinery, and other plug-in devices used in workplaces.

How often do I need to have my equipment tested?

Testing frequency depends on the environment and level of risk. Construction sites typically require testing every 3 months, factories and workshops every 6 months, offices every 12 months, and low-risk environments up to 5 years following risk assessment in accordance with the AS/NZS 3760 standard.

Who can carry out Test and Tag in New Zealand?

Testing must be performed by a competent person as defined under the AS/NZS 3760 standard. This means someone who has appropriate training, knowledge, and experience in electrical safety testing procedures and equipment.

What happens if equipment fails testing?

If an item fails inspection or testing, it is tagged as failed and removed from service. The fault is recorded in the test report so the equipment can be repaired, replaced, or safely disposed of before being returned to use.

Do you provide compliance records and reporting?

Yes. All tested items are recorded in a detailed register including asset identification, test results, tester information, and next due date. Clients receive a clear report to support their health and safety documentation and due diligence obligations.

Do you provide on-site Test and Tag services?

Yes. Testing is carried out on-site to minimise disruption to your operations. Our technicians inspect, test, tag, and document equipment at your workplace.

How much does Test and Tag cost?

Electrical Test and Tag pricing depends on the number of items tested and the site location. Costs typically include a call-out fee per site and a per-item testing rate, with discounted pricing available for larger volumes. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your workplace requirements.
