Test & Tag Services Brisbane
Workplace safety underpins everything ServiceFM does, with Test & Tag playing a critical role in ensuring electrical compliance across a wide range of businesses and sectors – from offices and salons around Brisbane to healthcare facilities, Defence sites and manufacturing environments throughout Queensland.
Testing and tagging verifies that equipment is safe to use and aligns with relevant industry standards, helping to minimise risks such as injury, electric shock, fire, and operational disruption.
This includes everything from power boards and extension leads to larger plug-in equipment, covering all items in between. Maintaining proof of electrical compliance, such as routinely tested and tagged equipment, is often required by insurers, enabling businesses to demonstrate due diligence and maintain coverage in the event of an incident. Under Australian work health and safety laws, employers in Brisbane are obligated to ensure all electrical equipment is safe for use.

Frequently asked questions
Testing intervals vary depending on the type of equipment, the environment it operates in, and other external considerations. These timeframes can range from as frequently as every three months to as infrequently as every five years. Our team will assess your equipment and develop a tailored testing schedule that aligns with the requirements of AS/NZS 3760.
Although certain industries must follow strict legal requirements for testing and tagging, all employers in Australia have a duty under Work Health and Safety laws to maintain a safe workplace, and that includes ensuring the safety of electrical equipment.
AS/NZS 3760 outlines the requirements for in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment - commonly referred to as “test and tag.” It applies to a broad range of plug-in and cord-connected devices, such as power tools, extension leads, kettles, monitors, and equipment used in workshops and industrial settings.
The standard requires a combination of visual inspections to identify any obvious damage, electrical testing, clear labelling that shows the test status and date, and accurate recording of all inspections and results. It also sets out the required testing intervals for different types of equipment.
