How often should I 'test and tag' my electrical equipment?

The frequency of inspection and testing varies for different work situations. For construction work the inspection and testing intervals are described in the Code of Practice: Electrical practices for construction work.

For all other workplaces the inspection and testing intervals are described in the Standard, AS/NZS 3760 but only need be applied to electrical equipment that has been assessed as operating in a hostile operating environment as described in clause 64 of the OHS Regulation.

 

For a quick-reference table to the intervals outlined in the standard, please see here.
