Electrical Testing And Tagging Services
Portable Appliance Testing
Portable Appliance Testing is the testing of electrical equipment that includes, detachable leads, such as power boards and extension leads.
There are many reasons to conduct a Portable Appliance Test, Including;
- Safety from electrical shocks and fires due to faulty appliances
- Compliance with Occupational, Health and Safety Regulations
- Ensuring the appliance is operating safely, efficiently and effectively
Portable Appliance Testing is a preventative action, identifying unsafe and ineffective appliance and leads before an incident occur.
Test and Tag Services
Our team first visually inspect the equipment for any visual defects. This is where 90% of the faults are detected. If the item passes the visual inspection, we then run a series of electrical tests. If the item passes all the tests, we then apply the tag and include the item on the log. If the item fails any of the tests, we either repair the fault, or tag the item out of service and report it to the supervisor / site contact.
RCD Testing
An RCD (Residual Current Device) also commonly referred to as a “Safety Switch”, is a device designed to cut the power if an imbalance is detected. This helps reduce the risk of electrocution. As with any device, they are not immune to failure. RCD testing helps ensure the device is operating correctly. RCD’s are mandatory devices on circuits that provide power to outlets used by portable equipment. RCD testing is a mandatory WHS requirement.
Minor Repairs
TEST ‘N’ TAG Adelaide can provide minor repairs to extension leads and portable appliances / tools. We can replace plug tops and extension sockets onsite. We also carry replacement extension leads, figure 8 leads, IEC leads and power boards to replace faulty leads as required.

Microwave Leakage Testing
We can test your microwaves to check for radiation leakage. Radiation is invisible and scentless. The only way to check for this is with a microwave leakage tester. We use this device around the microwave to check that the seals are not allowing radiation to leak from worn seals or contaminate build up around the seals.
