What Is Test And Tag?

Test and tag is a safety check for electrical equipment in your workplace. Each item is inspected, tested with a meter, and then fitted with a tag that shows the test date, result and next test due.

The process usually includes:

Visual inspection of plugs, leads and casings

Electrical testing with a portable appliance tester

Clear tags on every item with dates and technician details

A record of all items tested and any that failed

In Western Australia, test and tag must be carried out by a competent person who has the right training and equipment to follow AS/NZS 3760.

How Often Do You Need Test And Tag In WA?

Test and tag frequency depends on how and where you use your electrical equipment. High risk and harsh environments need frequent testing. Clean, low risk offices often move to longer intervals under the standards.


Typical test and tag intervals under AS/NZS 3760 include:

Construction, mining and demolition sites: about every 3 months

Workshops, factories and other harsh environments: about every 6 months

Commercial cleaning equipment: every 6 months

Most office and low risk areas: up to 5 years, based on a risk assessment

Our team can review your site, recommend a suitable schedule and set up reminders so your workplace stays compliant.

Test And Tag FAQs

  • What workplace items need to be tested and tagged?

    Any portable electrical equipment that plugs into a power point should be tested and tagged. This includes power tools, extension leads, power boards, computers, screens, printers, kitchen appliances and chargers.

  • Do I legally need test and tag in Perth?

    WA Work Health and Safety laws require you to manage electrical risk in your workplace. Regular test and tag in line with AS/NZS 3760 is a recognised way to show that you take reasonable steps to protect staff, visitors and property. Many sites and contracts also set their own test and tag rules.

  • Who is allowed to carry out electrical test and tag?

    Electrical test and tag in WA must be completed by a competent person. This means someone with the right training, knowledge and equipment to follow AS/NZS 3760. O’Brien Kontrols uses qualified electricians who work with electrical systems every day.

  • What happens if an appliance fails the test?

    Failed items are removed from service, tagged as failed and listed in your report. Our team can advise on repair or replacement and provide a quote for any electrical work required.

  • How long does test and tag take?

    Time on site depends on how many items you have and how easy they are to reach. A small office with clear access can often be completed within a few hours. Larger sites may need a staged approach so your operations keep moving.
