The process of Electrical Test and Tag consists of two primary steps: initially, visually examining the appliance for any signs of damage, followed by conducting electrical testing using a Portable Appliance Tester.
Upon completion of the testing, the item is labelled with a tag to verify that it has undergone testing. This tag includes details such as the tester’s identity, the test date, and the next scheduled test date.
At Safe Fire And Electrical Test & Tag, we review your electrical equipment to make sure it’s in safe working order and in line with OH&S requirements.
All testing and tagging of electrical equipment, including RCD’s (safety switch), must be undertaken by a competent person at least every 12 months. Different intervals apply for different industries.
RCD testing is the process of safely “tripping” your RCD to ensure it will operate instantly should there be an electrical incident. This is also known as safety switch testing. Your RCD is designed to trip or switch off all the power to that circuit. The quicker an RCD trips, the smaller the electric shock sustained by an individual. Yes, your RCD needs to be tested and tagged in accordance with AS/NZS 3760:2010 to ensure that it will respond in a fault situation and that it will also respond within the required time frame. Should it not trip in the required time, a fatal and extensive electric shock may be delivered.
