FAQs – Test and Tag Auckland

Test and tag is the process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances to ensure they are safe to use in the workplace. Our technicians carry out all electrical safety testing in line with AS/NZS 3760:2022, the New Zealand standard for in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment. While testing and tagging is not legally mandatory in every situation, it is a highly recommended method for meeting the obligations set out in the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 to ensure all electrical equipment is safe for use. If you want to understand exactly what the full process involves from start to finish, our portable appliance testing service page covers everything in detail.
The testing frequency depends on the type of equipment and the environment it operates in. According to AS/NZS 3760:2022, construction, demolition and building sites require electrical safety testing every 3 months due to the high-risk nature of those environments. Factories and warehouses operate on a 6-month interval, schools and offices on a 12-month cycle, and lower risk environments such as server rooms are tested every 5 years. Businesses can also conduct their own risk assessments and choose more frequent testing intervals if they see fit. Our post on understanding test and tag requirements in New Zealand covers each environment and its specific compliance obligations in full.
Electrical testing and tagging prices in Auckland typically range between $2 and $6 per item excluding GST. The final cost of your service depends on a number of factors including the number of appliances to be tested, the location of your Auckland premises, the accessibility of your electrical equipment, any special safety requirements on site, and the frequency of testing your environment requires. Businesses with a higher volume of items generally benefit from a lower per-item rate. Because pricing is tailored to each workplace, the best way to get an accurate figure is to request a quote directly and our team will respond within two business hours. Our blog post on the test and tag price list explains all the factors that influence the cost of electrical testing services in detail.

Our electrical testing and tagging service covers any portable appliance or plug-in equipment used in the workplace. This includes power tools such as angle grinders, power drills, impact drivers, nail guns, rotary hammers and belt sanders, as well as extension leads, cord sets, office equipment, kitchen appliances and RCDs. Cordless power tools are also covered as our technicians test the battery pack and power pack directly. If your business uses power tools on a construction or trade site, our post on why testing power tools is important explains exactly what is involved in the testing process for each type of tool.
Our technicians follow a structured four step process on every visit. The first step is a visual inspection where the technician checks for physical damage such as frayed cords, cracked plugs or damaged casings. If significant damage is found at this stage the item fails immediately. The second step is electrical testing using a PAT machine, which runs an earth continuity test, an insulation resistance test and a lead polarity test to identify faults that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The third step is tagging, where each item that passes receives a compliance label showing the technician details, the date of testing and the next due date. The fourth step is documentation, where all results are recorded in a comprehensive service report along with a certificate of compliance. You can read more about our portable appliance testing service to understand what each stage covers.
This is a question a lot of Auckland businesses ask and the answer depends on the environment. In lower risk environments such as offices, new equipment from a reputable supplier may not require immediate electrical testing if it is undamaged and comes with appropriate supplier documentation. However, on construction sites, demolition sites and other high-risk environments, even brand new electrical equipment must be inspected and tested before it is used for the first time. If you are unsure what applies to your specific workplace, our post on understanding test and tag requirements in New Zealand covers new equipment obligations alongside everything else you need to know about compliance.
If any item fails either the visual inspection or the electrical test, it is immediately removed from service and given a fail tag so it cannot be used until the issue is resolved. The failure is recorded in your compliance report so you have a clear record of what failed and why. The appliance must then be repaired by a qualified electrician or replaced entirely before it can be returned to use. This is one of the most critical parts of the entire electrical safety process and is exactly why regular appliance testing matters. For businesses using power tools on construction or trade sites, our post on why testing power tools is important explains the real consequences of using electrical equipment that has not been properly inspected.
Yes, absolutely. After every electrical testing and tagging service, The Local Guys provide a full written compliance report documenting every item tested, the results of each inspection, which items passed and which failed, and the next due date for each appliance. A certificate of compliance is also issued confirming that your equipment has met the required safety standards under AS/NZS 3760:2022. This documentation is your proof of compliance for any WorkSafe NZ audit, insurance matter, or internal health and safety review. To get started, simply request a quote and one of our team will be in touch within two business hours.
Under AS/NZS 3760:2022, electrical testing and tagging must be completed by a competent person who has the correct training and certifications. The Local Guys technicians are fully licensed and trained, hold a White Card, carry a First Aid Certificate, have current Police Clearance and are covered by $5,000,000 in Public Liability Insurance.
