Electrical Safety.
Tested. Tagged. Tracked.
Test & Tag is the process of inspecting, testing, and certifying electrical appliances to ensure workplace safety and regulatory compliance across New Zealand workplaces.
Why Test & Tag?
Safety isn't optional. It's the law.
Protect People
Prevent electrical injuries and fatalities by ensuring every appliance is safe before use.
Reduce Electrical Hazards
Identify faulty equipment before it causes fires, shocks, or equipment damage.
Meet AS/NZS 3760
Full compliance with the New Zealand standard for in-service inspection and testing.
Digital Compliance
Real-time dashboards, automated reports, and complete audit trails for every asset.
How the Process Works
From inspection to digital compliance.
Equipment Identification
Every electrical appliance is identified and logged into the system with a unique asset ID.
PAT Testing
Professional testing equipment checks earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity.
Compliance Tag Applied
A compliant safety tag is attached showing test results, date, and next inspection due.
QR Asset Label
A unique QR code links the physical asset to its digital compliance record.
Digital Record Created
Full inspection history, technician notes, and compliance status stored securely online.
Core Electrical Tests
Six tests. One standard.
Every appliance undergoes a comprehensive testing sequence as defined by AS/NZS 3760. Each test has a specific purpose to identify electrical faults and improve workplace safety.
