Testing and Tagging Specialists
2022 update to Test & Tag standard : AS/NZS 3760:2022
"IT IS NOW a requirement to keep records of testing and inspection with a register of all equipment that is inspected/tested. This essentially means everyone testing and tagging must keep a register of all equipment that is tested. For anyone offering test and tag as a service provider (as a 3rd party) they will be required to document exact test measurements for every test performed, rather than a simple pass or fail.

Electrical safety inspections & the law
The Electrical (Safety) Regulations 2010 require all electrical equipment and fittings that are available for use in the workplace, in rental or leased accommodation, or are offered for hire, to be electrically SAFE.

The second benefit is for the Employer, should an accident occur (and they do), if you’re able show that your business is compliant you are in less risk of being prosecuted under the Health and Safety in Employment Act.

- Doesn't provide detailed appliance leakage & numerical values in reporting - NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE from 2022
**ask for a sample report ensuring that the above values are reported as part of the service
- Computers and machinery not shutdown, the biggest WARNING sign they're not being tested properly
- CHEAP tag rates, let's be honest, you get what you pay for stands tried and true here.
*IF your provider is getting through over 200 tags regularly per day, YOU need to watch what's going on.
