Common questions about test & tagging
What is test and tagging?
Test and tagging is the process of inspecting electrical appliances and leads, testing them for electrical safety, and attaching a tag showing they've passed and when they were checked. It identifies faulty or unsafe items before they cause a shock or fire, giving you confidence that the appliances in use are safe.
How is test and tagging priced?
We quote test and tagging based on how many appliances and leads need checking. For homes it's usually a straightforward job; for businesses it depends on the number of items and the site. Either way you get a clear quote up front so you know the cost before we start.
Why does test and tagging matter for my home?
Electrical appliances are part of daily life but can become hazards if a lead is damaged or an item develops a fault you can't see. Test and tagging picks up those problems early, which reduces the risk of electric shock or an electrical fire and gives you peace of mind about the equipment you use every day.
How often should appliances be tested and tagged?
Testing frequency depends on the environment and how the equipment is used — items in tougher conditions need checking more often than those in a quiet home or office. When we test your appliances we can advise a sensible re-test interval for your situation so you stay on top of it.
Can you test and tag for a business or workplace?
Yes. We carry out test and tagging for workplaces across Brisbane, helping businesses keep their equipment safe and their records in order. We can work around your operating hours so testing doesn't disrupt the working day.
Do you tag new appliances?
We can. Even new equipment is often required to be tested or at least tagged before first use in many workplaces. We'll check items, tag them appropriately and let you know what's needed so your records are complete.
What happens if an appliance fails the test?
If an item fails, we tag it as unsafe and let you know so it can be taken out of use before it causes harm. Where it makes sense we can advise whether the item can be repaired — for example a damaged lead — or whether it should be replaced.
