Our Services

Every business has an obligation to provide a safe workplace as far as reasonably practicable, and one area of concern is electrical safety. Under the new Fire and Emergency New Zealand Fire Safety Evacuation Procedures and Evacuation Schemes Regulations 2018 it is now mandatory. More Details

Any electrical equipment that is connected to the electrical supply by a flexible cord and/or connecting device. It may include pieces of equipment that are or have been:

• Being used for the first time
• Already being used
• Has recently been serviced or repaired
• Returning to service from a second-hand sale
• Available for hire More Details

Frequency varies according to the type of environment and/or equipment. Electrical Testing and Tagging should be applied at the following intervals:

• Demolition and construction environments (as per AS/NZS 3012): every 3 months
• Factories, workshops, places of manufacture, assembly, maintenance, or fabrication: every 6 months
• An environment where the equipment or supply flexible cord is subject to flexing in normal use OR is open to abuse OR is in a hostile environment: every 12 months. More Details

While some safety defects are identifiable by visual examination, others can only be found by thorough electrical testing of equipment. By ensuring your tools, appliances, and equipment are safe, you are eliminating unnecessary risk. Every year, people are injured or killed at work. You can ensure that your workplace is safe by asking a 24×7 Test & Tag technician to test and tag equipment and portable appliances according to the standard frequencies.

More Details

The testing frequency for portable devices varies according to the nature of the workplace and the type of equipment. The following information is based on the test & tag frequency standards stipulated by the AS/NZS 3012.

Construction and demolition sites:

• Portable equipment should be tested every 3 months
• Hire equipment must be tested prior to hire and at least once a month (if hire equipment remains on site then it should be tested to the same standard as all other portable equipment).
• Portable RCDs should be tested every 3 months. More Details

An RCD acts like a life-saving device by preventing dangerous electric currents and fatal electric shocks if there is a leakage current. If your electrical appliance is faulty and your RCD does not trip within the required time, harmful and fatal injuries such as electric shock can occur. Regular RCD safety switch testing and tagging can help you avoid dangerous occurrences in your workplace.. More Details

An RCD Safety Switch protects by constantly monitoring the current flowing in the Active and Neutral wires supplying a circuit or an individual item of equipment. Under normal circumstances, the current flowing in the two wires is equal. When an earth leakage occurs due to a fault in the circuit or an accident with the equipment, an imbalance occurs and this is detected by the RCD, which automatically cuts off the power before injury or damage can result. More Details

The most common cause of leakage is faulty or worn out door seals. This can occur from mistreatment, food build-up or the age of the unit. A microwave leakage test can help identify any harmful leakage. Other common hazards in older appliances include electrical shock and fire. This can be caused by exposed and dated wiring or manufacturing issues.  More Details

An experienced professional will inspect the appliance and ensure it is safe for a kitchen environment based on the AS/NZS 3760 and AS/NZS 60335.2.25. This is a quick and easy process that involves using a radiation leakage detector to identify the level of radiation that your appliance is producing. Our microwave tester devices are top of the line and each of our technicians receives ongoing training for correct usage. Accurate and efficient testing is completed by our staff members who offer mobile services across New Zealand. More Details
