Ensure Workplace Safety with Professional Testing and Tagging

Protect your business, staff, and assets with compliant testing and tagging services from ANA Electrical & Air Conditioning. We deliver thorough electrical testing and tagging for all types of commercial and industrial environments across Melbourne, including equipment used by our air conditionerelectrician team and other electrical appliances, helping you meet legal obligations and maintain a safe, efficient workplace.

What is Testing and Tagging?

Testing and tagging is the process of inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances and equipment to verify their safety. Each item is visually checked for damage, electrically tested using a portable appliance tester, and then tagged with a durable label showing the test date, technician, and next due date. This applies to all workplace electrical equipment, including tools used during EV charger installation and other commercial electrical work.

Why is Testing and Tagging Important?

  • Legal Compliance: Meet your obligations under Australian WHS regulations and AS/NZS 3760:2022 standards.
  • Risk Reduction: Prevent electrical shocks, equipment failures, and fire hazards by identifying faults early.
  • Insurance Requirements: Many insurers require regular testing and tagging for coverage validity.
  • Peace of Mind: Know your workplace is safe, compliant, and ready for audits or inspections.

Testing and Tagging Australian Standards

All work is carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 3760:2022, the current Australian standard for in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment and RCDs. This standard outlines:

  • Who can test and tag (competent, trained persons)
  • Methods for inspection, testing, and tagging
  • Record-keeping and documentation requirements
  • Minimum testing frequencies by environment

Testing and Tagging Frequency

Environment Type Minimum Testing Interval
Construction, building, demolition Every 3 months
Factories, production, warehouse Every 6 months
Offices, schools, kitchens (flexible cords) Every 12 months
Server rooms (fixed, non-flexing cords) Every 5 years

Note: Some workplaces may require more frequent testing based on risk assessments or specific industry requirements.

Who Can Perform Testing and Tagging?

Testing and tagging must be performed by a competent person—someone with appropriate training, qualifications, or experience. In Victoria, this typically means a technician who has completed a recognised testing and tagging course and uses calibrated equipment.

Testing and Tagging Requirements

  1. Visual inspection for physical damage, exposed wires, or non-compliant plugs
  2. Electrical testing with certified equipment
  3. Tagging with durable, legible labels showing:
    • Date of test
    • Technician/company name
    • Next test due date
    • Pass or fail status
  4. Record-keeping: Maintain an asset register and test log for all equipment

Nick installed our AC. He was easy to deal with, shows up when he says he will, does a clean install, and makes sure you understand the product and how to use it.
I'd have no reservations in recommending ANA to friends and family.

Rang ANA on Friday morning, spoke to Nick who came over that same afternoon. No call out fee, just gave options for our airconditioner that stopped working. Turned up with his co-worker the NEXT DAY, supplied & fitted a new unit for a fair price. Took old unit away, did a great job, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Highly recommend this company.
