FAQs
Test and Tag Auckland FAQs
Is test and tag a legal requirement in New Zealand?
−
Yes — under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, employers are required to ensure electrical equipment in the workplace is safe. Regular testing and tagging is the standard way to demonstrate compliance. Testing frequency varies by industry and environment — we'll advise what's required for your specific situation.
How often do appliances need to be tested and tagged?
+
It depends on the type of environment. Construction sites require more frequent testing than office environments. We'll recommend the appropriate testing interval for your business when we quote.
What happens if an appliance fails the test?
+
Failed appliances are clearly documented in the report and removed from service until repaired. Where we can rectify the fault on the spot, we'll do so. Otherwise we'll document the failure and advise on next steps.
Can you test appliances at our premises without disrupting operations?
+
Yes — we work systematically through your premises and test appliances with minimal disruption. For businesses that can't have items removed from service during the day, we can arrange out-of-hours testing.
Do you provide records we can use for compliance purposes?
+
Yes — every testing round produces a full written report covering all appliances tested, results, tag dates, and any remediation required. This report serves as your compliance documentation.
