Professional Test and Tag Services with Digital Compliance Reporting.
Electrical test and tag — also called portable appliance testing — is the process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable equipment used in workplaces to verify ongoing electrical safety.
Electrical test and tag — sometimes called portable appliance inspection and testing — helps identify damaged leads, failed insulation, incorrect polarity, earth faults and other electrical hazards before they result in injury, equipment failure or workplace disruption.
Portable appliance testing carried out to AS/NZS 3760 supports workplace compliance obligations and helps businesses maintain structured electrical safety records for audits, contractor reviews and WHS inspections.
This process is commonly required across offices, warehouses, workshops, logistics facilities, schools, construction sites and other commercial environments where portable electrical equipment is used regularly.
Professional portable appliance testing is not just about applying tags to electrical equipment. In high-use workplaces, portable appliance compliance testing forms part of a broader electrical safety program designed to reduce operational risk, support workplace safety systems and maintain defensible compliance records over time.
Our electrical test and tag process combines visual inspection, calibrated electrical testing and structured compliance reporting to support ongoing workplace electrical safety.
Inspect plugs, cords, casings, and connections for damage or wear
Test earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity with calibrated equipment
Apply color-coded pass/fail tag with test date and retest due date
Receive digital compliance report with asset register and retest schedule
Portable appliance testing intervals depend on the workplace environment, equipment usage, and exposure to operating conditions such as dust, vibration, heat, moisture and mechanical damage.
AS/NZS 3760 specifies maximum testing intervals, however high-use and industrial environments may require more frequent portable appliance compliance testing based on risk.
Testing intervals are subject to risk assessment and are the maximum intervals as per AS3760.

On-site plug and socket replacement for appliances that fail testing. We replace damaged, worn, or non-compliant plug-tops for 10A and 15A appliances, plus appliance sockets where appropriate.
Every replacement includes full AS/NZS 3760 safety verification:
We also replace pre-2005 plug-tops manufactured before insulated pins became mandatory under AS/NZS 3112. These non-compliant plugs are commonly found on older workplace equipment.
Example of on-site plug replacement with full AS/NZS 3760 verification
Before testing begins, we perform an Earth Safety Check at the power outlet. This verifies the socket has a safe earth path for accurate test results.
A faulty earth connection can cause incorrect test readings. This check protects equipment, ensures safety, and maintains valid AS/NZS 3760 test records.
Included at no extra cost during every testing visit to confirm the electrical environment is safe.
