Test & Tag North Brisbane

With notoriously strict workplace health and safety standards in Queensland, auditors can impose hefty fines for every violation they find. Our job at North Lakes & Surrounds Electrical is to protect you, your employees, and your business with a professional test and tag service. Everything we do meets strict Australian Standards, WH&S and AS/NZS 3760 requirements not to mention, all of our technicians have received Nationally Accredited Training and Cert 2 in Fire Safety.

What Is Testing And Tagging?

Test and tag is the process of visually and electrically checking the safety of portable electrical appliances. According to the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 (Qld), as an employer, you must regularly inspect and test specified electrical equipment and safety switches in your workplace.

The rules and regulations differ from trade to trade (e.g. construction standards for testing and tagging differ from service and office standards) which is why only a qualified and experienced tradesperson can legally test and tag electrical equipment. It is an offence under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 to repair electrical equipment unless you have the appropriate electrical work licence. Once tested, the item receives a durable tag with the testing date and next scheduled test and inspection date clearly visible. 

How Often Should Test And Tagging Be Done?

As mentioned above, each industry has their own set of rules and regulations for testing and tagging. At North Lakes & Surrounds Electrical, we are equipped and trained to assist with construction, manufacturing, office and service work industries. For double insulated manufacturing work and service work (if no safety switch) 12 months is the maximum term between each test and tag.

For non-double insulated manufacturing work and construction work (transportable structures, fixed and transportable equipment and construction wiring) it is 6 months. Office work (if no safety switch) can have a maximum term of five years. There also intervals for testing type 1 and type 2 safety switches.

Super friendly, helpful service from the first phone call through to their workshop. We needed 2 x15amp extension leads tested and tagged, they did a great deal. They may be based in North Lakes but they've got their vans set up ready to hit the road to your home and work. We had such a good experience. We can't recommend them enough for all electrical needs. ++ I'm big on good customer service from woe to go and quality of workmanship is an absolute must. I have no time for arrogance and treating people like they're idiots. If we all knew everything, you wouldn't be needed = your loss. If these things matter to you too, choose North Lakes and Surrounds Electrical like we did. 😄Sounds like an ad for them. Just a new customer who is sick of the bad service out there and we found a gem that's all.

We've used North Lakes & Surrounds Electrical for a few years at our property in Mango Hill and they've always been fantastic. We recently had them decommission and upgrade lights and fixtures throughout our house as well as upgrade our ceiling fans. Have also had them install multiple appliances on previous occasions. All of the staff, from booking and quoting through to doing the work, are a pleasure to work with and the completed work is thorough and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Neil did a professional job and provided excellent quality work. He carefully checked the smoke alarms, found the problems and replaced all of them. Now I feel much safe at home. We really appreciate your help.

Had Adam come out today to install new LED wall lights at our front door and replaced the last of our old Halogen downligths with new LEDs. He did an amazing job, explained everything and provided recommendations on some fixes moving forward. Would happily recommend the team if you need electrical work done.
