TEST AND TAG WITH TESTEL A MARKET LEADER IN ELECTRICAL TESTING AND TAGGING

Test & Tag

Testing & Tagging is the process of testing an electrical appliance in order to ensure it is safe for use. Test and tag is referred to as other names such as electrical tagging, appliance testing, portable appliance testing, tagging, electrical test tagging and lead tagging. A Test & Tag clearance will ensure that the equipment being tested is free of faults and damages.

In Australia, the Test & Tag process is guided by Australian AS/NZS 3760:2013 Standard for In-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment.

To ensure maximum safety, electrical equipment should be tested more regularly if intensive use occurs or the device is exposed to harsh environmental conditions that will cause the process of deterioration to occur more rapidly (e.g. heat, moisture or physical wear and tear).

Our Tests & Inspections

When it comes to the Test & Tag process, there are three main stages involved:

1. Visual inspection to ensure the device is in sound physical condition;
2. Electrical testing that involves checking with special equipment to ensure there are no invisible / unseen faults;
3. Record keeping that involves storing data about the appliance and reporting test outcomes.

Some types of tests included in a Test & Tag involve:

• Tests: Insulation, Earth Circuit, Leakage, Continuity, Functionality, Polarity Wire
• Checking for faults and defects on socket outlets, plugs, connectors, supply cords, accessories
• Visual Inspection of the cord internals and cord layout / positioning while in use
