Test and Tag on the Gold Coast

Keeping your home or business safe from electrical faults.

Test and Tag Services

Electrical testing and tagging is the process of inspecting and labelling electrical equipment or appliances with a tag indicating the equipment has been inspected according to safety standards. It helps ensure that all electrical equipment is functioning properly without any potential hazards. This process needs to be conducted regularly to keep up with changing safety regulations as well as changes in technology.

 

AT JL Electrical Solutions, we provide test and tag services throughout the Gold Coast to ensure your home or workplace remains safe and compliant. Our electricians use a portable appliance tester to measure the electrical safety of equipment, checking for any potential issues that might cause injury. Once a piece of equipment has been tested, we’ll place a tag on it, that will include the date of the test, the next due date for testing, the person who conducted the test and the outcome. We service Tweed Heads, Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads, Robina, Varsity Lakes and the surrounding suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about testing and tagging.

  • What is test and tag?

    Test and tag is the process of inspecting, testing and tagging electrical appliances and equipment in order to ensure they are safe for use. During this procedure, the electrician will check all exposed wiring for signs of damage or corrosion. They will also perform an electrical safety test on each appliance using specialised equipment to measure insulation resistance and earth leakage current. Finally, they will attach a label to each item that outlines the test date, who did the test, the next required test date and the outcome of the test.

  • How often does testing and tagging need to be done?

    Test and tag frequency depends on the type of work or equipment being used. For example, construction work requires testing and tagging every three months while manufacturing and amusement work/equipment requires testing and tagging every 12 months. 

  • Who can test and tag electrical equipment?

    Test and tag should only be carried out by a licensed electrician who is experienced in the field of electrical safety. The technician must have an understanding of all relevant regulations and codes of practice as well as knowledge of how to perform the tests correctly. It is important to choose someone you trust as incorrect testing can put users at risk.
