Test & Tag Services Melbourne
At ServiceFM, workplace safety is at the core of everything we do, with Test & Tag services playing a key role in maintaining electrical compliance across all industries. From corporate offices and salons in Melbourne to healthcare facilities, Defence sites, and manufacturing operations throughout regional Victoria, our services are designed to support the varied compliance requirements of organisations across the state.
Testing and tagging ensures equipment is safe for use and meets relevant industry standards, helping to reduce the risk of injury, electric shock, fire, and operational downtime.
This applies to all plug-in electrical items, from power boards and extension cords to larger equipment, and everything in between. Keeping accurate records of electrical compliance – such as regularly tested and tagged assets – is often an insurance requirement, allowing businesses to demonstrate due diligence and maintain coverage in case of an incident. Under Australian work health and safety legislation, employers in Melbourne are required to ensure all electrical equipment is safe to use.
Built for scale, focused on safety
ServiceFM offers complete Test & Tag services across Melbourne, as well as regional and rural Victoria. With more than 120 directly-employed technicians and electricians we’re ready to assist businesses across Australia.
Backed by over 20 years of expertise in electrical compliance and enhanced by leading-edge technology, we provide comprehensive safety assurance across all your electrical assets and equipment. Trusted by organisations throughout Melbourne and across Victoria, our approach delivers dependable, efficient asset tracking to keep your operations compliant and running smoothly.
Different appliances require different types of tests under Australian regulations, and the frequency of testing can vary, too.
Our experienced technicians and electricians perform all work in line with Australian and New Zealand Standards, including AS/NZS 3760 (in-service safety inspections), AS/NZS 3000 (wiring rules), AS/NZS 60335.2.25 (microwave safety), and AS 3998 (thermal imaging). Testing is carried out and scheduled to fully comply with these regulatory requirements.
When coming to your site, our team members are easily recognisable in ServiceFM uniforms and are equipped with the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), demonstrating our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe working environment.

Frequently asked questions
The frequency of testing depends on the type of equipment, the environment in which it is used, and other external factors. Intervals can vary from every three months up to five years. Our team will review your equipment and create a customised testing schedule that meets the guidelines set out in AS/NZS 3760.
While some industries are governed by strict testing and tagging regulations, every employer in Australia is required under Work Health and Safety laws to provide a safe working environment - and that includes the safety of all electrical equipment.
AS/NZS 3760 sets out the guidelines for the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment, more commonly known as “test and tag.” It applies to a wide variety of plug-in and cord-connected devices, including power tools, extension leads, kettles, monitors, and equipment used in workshops and industrial environments.
The standard requires a combination of visual checks to detect visible damage, electrical testing to confirm safe operation, clear labelling that shows the test date and status, and accurate documentation of all inspections and outcomes. It also specifies the appropriate testing intervals for different types of equipment.
