The Electrical Safety or OH & S Acts specify measures you are to take to ensure electrical safety in your workplace.  One of these measures is the electrical testing and tagging of portable electrical equipment and the regulations refer to the Australian Standard for guidance on how to implement these safety measures. The current Australian standard, AS/NZS 3760:2022 specifies the test and tag required to be conducted by our technicians in order to confirm the electrical safety of portable electrical appliances.

Whilst the Australian standard does not mandate a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT) should be used to conduct these tests, the use of a PAT remains one of the most comprehensive and efficient methods of ensuring an items electrical safety. Perth Test & Tag technicians use a sophisticated PAT and thermal printer to test and tag your electrical appliances and print tags on site. As part of our test and tag process, our technicians complete both a comprehensive Visual Test and Electrical Test on your appliances before they are deemed safe.

Visual Test A visual inspection is conducted by Perth Test & Tag technicians and involves a comprehensive inspection of flexible supply cord, plug, appliance and socket. Covers and guards are checked to ensure they are attached, appliances are checked for rattles indicating the presence of small foreign objects that may interfere with the safety of the appliance, and Class II appliances are checked for deep engraving, which may impact on the insulation of the appliance.

Electrical Test The following electrical tests are required to be completed on the appropriate equipment under AS/NZS 3760:2010.

• Insulation Resistance
• Leakage Current Testing
• Polarity
• Earth Resistance
