What is Testing and Tagging?

Testing and Tagging is the process of inspecting electrical equipment and devices to make sure that they are functioning in the manner in which they were originally intended. This is performed in a variety of commercial and industrial properties, including schools, hotels, shops, warehouses, offices and more. As every single piece of electrical equipment is to be logged and recorded, owners often find this quite handy to keep track of their stock.

Why is testing and tagging so important?

The reason that this process is so important is that it serves as a vital safety measure for anyone who will come in contact with the electrical devices. This is quite a broad range of people, as in some environments the one device may be used by workers, owners and customers. A great example of this is a hand-dryer in a toiler, or an electric drill. In addition to being a great safety measure, many property owners often get testing and tagging performed in order to prevent themselves from unwanted legal action should something happen with one of their devices.

How does Testing and Tagging work?

Testing and tagging involves a certified inspector travelling to the owners property, where they will carry out a series of tests on the devices. These tests use specialized tools, and must pass certain standards in order to be cleared. Once they have been tested, they will be fitted with a metal tag, and recorded in an ongoing record. Quite often this tag will also display the next date in which the device must be tested.

In today’s blog post, we have outlined some of the most important reasons why businesses all across the grater Brisbane region are getting testing and tagging performed.
