Testing and Tagging

The WHS regulations in your state or territory with respect to Electrical Safety outline measures to ensure electrical safety in a workplace environment.

Australian standard, AS/NZS 3760:2010 outlines and specifies testing and tagging requirements and guidelines to ensure electrical equipment in a workplace is tested and safe for use.

The frequency of testing will vary depending on the workplace environment where the electrical equipment is located.

Testing and Tagging

Testing & Tagging Of Electrical Appliances is undertaken in accordance with AS/NZS 3760.2010 and Workplace Health & Safety Regulations in your state.

A qualified PSA technician will inspect, test and tag (as required) all electrical appliances on your premises, using advanced calibrated testing equipment in accordance with AS/NZS 3760:2010

All equipment that is tested and complies with AS/NZS3760 specifications will be fitted with a durable, adhesive, tag identifying compliance with the above standard. All items that are non-compliant will receive a label warning against further use.

A comprehensive report will be provided indicating the results and location of each unit tested, a list of non-compliant equipment and a Certificate Of Compliance. Reports are provided in Excel or PDF format.

When re-testing is due, we will touch base one month prior to arrange a suitable time, at your convenience, to undertake the testing.
