Test and Tag – Summary List of Essentials
- Clients should ensure their Test & Tag provider adheres to AS/NZS 3760 standards and performs proper tests, including leakage current testing.
- A legitimate report must include detailed results such as insulation, earth, and leakage readings.
- Test tags should contain essential details: standard reference, test date, retest period, and provider info; expired or missing tags indicate non-compliance.
- Proper testing involves powering on appliances, especially electronic or motorized devices; quick, silent tests may suggest shortcuts.
- Very low prices and rapid testing are red flags, as thorough testing requires time and effort. Always ask for the testing data to verify compliance.
