Why Test & Tag?
Safety isn't optional.
It's the law.
Protect People
Prevent electrical injuries and fatalities by ensuring every appliance is safe before use.
Reduce Electrical Hazards
Identify faulty equipment before it causes fires, shocks, or equipment damage.
Meet AS/NZS 3760
Full compliance with Australian standards for in-service inspection and testing.
Digital Compliance
Real-time dashboards, automated reports, and complete audit trails for every asset.
How the Process Works
From inspection to digital compliance.
Every appliance follows the same five-step journey — from the bench to your compliance dashboard.
Equipment
Every electrical appliance is identified and logged into the system with a unique asset ID.
PAT Tester
Professional testing equipment checks earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity.
PASS Tag
A compliant safety tag is attached showing test results, date, and next inspection due.
QR Asset Label
A unique QR code links the physical asset to its digital compliance record.
Digital Record
Full inspection history, technician notes, and compliance status stored securely online.
Electrical Tests Explained
Six tests. One standard.
Every appliance undergoes a comprehensive testing regime as defined by AS/NZS 3760.
Visual Inspection
Physical condition of appliance, cable, plug, and connectors
Catches damage before it becomes a safety hazard
Technicians examine the entire appliance for signs of wear, damage, or deterioration including frayed cables, cracked plugs, and exposed wiring.
Earth Continuity Test
Resistance of the earth path from appliance to plug
Ensures fault current flows safely to earth, preventing electric shock
Measures the resistance of the protective earth conductor to ensure it can carry fault current safely.
Insulation Resistance Test
Insulation between live parts and earth
Detects degraded insulation before it causes short circuits or fires
Applies a test voltage to check that insulation resistance exceeds 1MΩ for Class I appliances.
Polarity Test
Correct wiring of live, neutral, and earth connections
Incorrect polarity can cause shocks and equipment damage
Verifies that the active and neutral conductors are connected to the correct terminals.
Leakage Current Test
Current leaking from appliance to earth
Excessive leakage can cause electric shock or trip RCDs
Measures the earth leakage current to ensure it falls within safe limits for the appliance class.
Functional Test
Appliance operates correctly under normal conditions
Confirms the appliance is safe and fit for intended use
Operates the appliance through its normal functions to verify safe operation.
Every Safety Test Explained
Understanding every electrical safety test.
During every Test & Tag inspection, multiple safety checks are performed depending on the equipment being tested. Each test has a specific purpose to help identify electrical faults and improve workplace safety.
Visual Inspection
Before any electrical testing begins
What it checks
Physical condition of appliance, cable, plug, and connectors
Why this test matters
Catches damage before it becomes a safety hazard — the first line of defence.
What happens if it fails
If damage is found, the appliance is immediately removed from service and tagged as failed. It cannot be reconnected until repaired or replaced.
You receive
Earth Continuity Test
Confirming the safety path to earth
What it checks
Resistance of the earth path from appliance to plug
Why this test matters
Ensures fault current flows safely to earth, preventing electric shock.
What happens if it fails
A failed earth continuity test means the protective earth path is broken. The appliance poses a serious shock risk and must not be used.
You receive
Insulation Resistance Test
Verifying protective insulation integrity
What it checks
Insulation between live parts and earth
Why this test matters
Detects degraded insulation before it causes short circuits or fires.
What happens if it fails
Low insulation resistance indicates current is leaking through degraded insulation. The appliance must be removed from service immediately.
You receive
Polarity Test
Ensuring correct wiring connections
What it checks
Correct wiring of active, neutral, and earth conductors
Why this test matters
Incorrect polarity can cause electric shocks, equipment damage, and fire.
What happens if it fails
Incorrectly wired appliances can energise metal parts or bypass protective devices. The appliance must be rewired before reuse.
You receive
Leakage Current Test
Measuring unwanted electrical current
What it checks
Current leaking from appliance to earth during operation
Why this test matters
Excessive leakage can cause electric shock or nuisance tripping of safety switches.
What happens if it fails
High leakage current indicates insulation breakdown or component failure. The appliance requires repair or replacement.
You receive
RCD Testing
Verifying safety switch performance
What it checks
Trip time and trip current of residual current devices
Why this test matters
Confirms safety switches disconnect power quickly enough to prevent fatal electric shock.
What happens if it fails
An RCD that trips too slowly or not at all cannot protect against electric shock. It must be replaced immediately.
