Electrical Tagging & Test and Tag Services

At LecSafe, we handle electrical tagging and test and tag work across Auckland, helping businesses stay on top of electrical safety. From building sites and workshops to office spaces and rental gear, we check that your appliances are in safe working condition and clearly labelled so there’s no guesswork involved.

What Does “Test and Tag” Actually Mean?

All our test and tag programs are compliant with the AS/NZS 3760 standard which defines what to test, what tests to perform, how often testing should be carried out and what records should be kept. In easy-to-understand terms though, we give each item a good look, checking for physical damage like worn cords or dodgy plugs that could cause trouble. Then we plug it in and test how it’s actually performing. If it’s all good, we tag it with the test date, who tested it, and when it needs doing again. That way, no one’s left guessing.

It’s not just paperwork. When gear gets moved around a lot, like tools on site or appliances in shared spaces, it tends to wear out quicker than you’d think. Routine tests and tag checks help catch problems early – before they turn into something risky or costly.

Why It Matters for Auckland Workplaces

● It’s about keeping people safe – Faulty gear can cause electric shocks, burns, or even fires. Regular testing is a simple way to reduce that risk.
● It ticks the compliance box – New Zealand’s health and safety laws expect you to keep electrical equipment in good shape. Test and tag is a straightforward way to show you’re doing that.
● It saves time and hassle – When every appliance is clearly tagged, your team knows what’s safe to use. No guesswork, no delays.

Doesn’t matter if you’ve only got a handful of tools or a whole workshop full, staying on top of safety shouldn’t be a mission. We’ll help you sort out a plan that fits and keeps things in check.

How Often Should You Test and Tag?

How often you need to test depends on where the gear’s used and how hard it’s worked. The testing frequency is defined by the standard we test to but here’s a general idea:
● On construction sites or in harsher conditions? Every three months is usually the standard.
● In factories or workshops where the environment is still hostile and can lead to damage, testing every 6 months is recommended
● For warehouses retail or small portable items in an office then testing every 12 months is sufficient
● For office equipment that stays in one spot where the risk of damage is minimal, testing every five years is usually enough.
● Hiring out gear? It’s best to test it before each time it goes out.
Not sure when your gear was last tested, or think it might be overdue? We’ll check it over and help you set up a plan that fits how you work.

FAQs

Do I legally have to test and tag my appliances?

Test and tag itself may not always be legally mandatory. What is required is that all electrical equipment must be safe and maintained in a safe condition. Electrical Test and tag is widely accepted as a practical, effective method to meet that requirement.

Which appliances need testing?

Any portable or plug‑in device with a flexible lead or that moves between locations, power boards, hand tools, heaters, portable machinery, chargers, kitchen equipment and similar should be considered.

What happens after test and tag?

Once appliances pass inspection, they receive a tag with a next‑test date. Failing items are marked or removed from use until repaired or replaced. We manage the testing for our clients so woold make contact before the retesting is due to book in a time that suits to carry out the testing.
