FAQ – Test and Tagging
Test and tagging is the process of inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances to ensure they are safe for use. After testing, a tag is attached to indicate the test date, results, and when the next inspection is due. This process helps prevent electrical accidents and is vital for workplace safety in industries like construction, manufacturing, retail, and hospitality, as well as in homes.
In Victoria, test and tagging must be carried out by a “competent person”—either a licensed electrician or someone who has completed a nationally recognised test and tag training course (such as UEERL0003 or UEENEE026A). You do not need to be an electrician, but you must have the appropriate training and certification to legally perform these services.
The required frequency depends on the environment and type of equipment. High-risk industries like construction require testing every three months, while other workplaces may require it every six to twelve months. Office equipment and low-risk environments may only need testing every five years. Employers should follow the AS/NZS 3760 standard and industry-specific guidelines to determine the correct intervals.
While there is no specific law mandating test and tagging for all workplaces in Victoria, employers are legally required under the Occupational Health and Safety Act to provide a safe working environment. Regular test and tag is considered best practice and is mandatory in high-risk industries. Adhering to AS/NZS 3760 ensures compliance and helps avoid legal penalties or workplace accidents.
