Our Standard Appliance Testing and Tagging Procedure

Our standard electrical tag testing process essentially includes the following 3 steps: 

Performing a Thorough Visual Inspection

First, our electricians carefully assess your portable appliances for visible signs of damage, including its socket, plug and flexible supply cord. We also check your appliances for rattles that indicate the presence of broken or foreign objects inside your appliance. This visual inspection plays an important role in preventing premature equipment failure and possible injuries. 

Conducting an Electrical Test

After completing the visual testing, our experts use a fully lodged test and tag appliance tester to check your equipment for: 

Placing a Tag on the Tested Appliances

The final step is to place tags on appliances that are deemed safe after conducting visual and electrical tests. The tag mentions the date the appliance was tested as well as the name of the electrician who performed the procedure. This helps in keeping track of when that particular appliance is due for the next electrical test and tag.

RCD Protection

Overloaded electrical circuits can have dangerous consequences such as electrical fires or electrocution. RCDs or safety switches are devices that detect and cut the power supply in case of a circuit overload. These are usually installed on switchboards or power points and are also used in various locations throughout your property.

RCD-protected circuits instantly trip as soon as they detect an electrical fault, and help save precious lives.

As part of our test and tag services, we conduct regular RCD testing to ensure your safety switches are working correctly. Our expert electricians recommend RCD push button testing every 6 months and a trip time test every 2 years, so that your home or business remains safe from potentially fatal electrical incidents.
