Electrical Test And Tag FAQs
Is test and tag a legal requirement in New Zealand?
Not for every workplace. The main requirement is that electrical equipment is kept safe and properly maintained. Testing to AS/NZS 3760 is one recognised way businesses can help show that equipment is being checked and maintained properly.
How often does test and tag need to be done in New Zealand?
It depends on the type of equipment, how often it is used and the environment it is used in. Construction sites may need testing every 3 months, while lower-risk workplaces such as offices may have longer testing intervals.
How much does test and tag cost in New Zealand?
The cost depends on the number of items, the type of workplace and site access. Larger jobs may have a lower per-item rate. For an accurate price, request a quote based on your workplace.
How long does a test and tag job take in New Zealand?
Most smaller workplaces can be completed within a few hours, but the exact time depends on the number of items being tested and how easy they are to access. Larger sites may take longer.
Can my business stay open during testing?
Usually, yes. Testing can normally be carried out with minimal disruption, and the technician can work around your normal business operations where possible.
Where do you provide test and tag services in New Zealand?
Our technicians are based in Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Rotorua, Wellington and Christchurch, and travel up to 3 hours from each of these locations. Contact us with your suburb or site location and we can confirm availability.
What happens during a test and tag service?
The technician starts with a visual inspection, then carries out the required electrical tests using a PAT tester. Items that pass are tagged, and testing records are provided after the job is completed.
Who can carry out test and tag in New Zealand?
Testing should be completed by someone with the right training, knowledge and equipment to do the work safely. They do not necessarily need to be a registered electrician, although electrical repairs must be completed by a suitably qualified electrical worker.
