Electrical Test and Tag

Electrical Test and Tagging of Electrical Equipment and RCD’s/ Electrical Safety Switch

A workplace requirement under the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013, electrical test and tag is very important in keeping staff, visitors and yourself safe in a work environment.

At FCF Fire & Electrical, our team provides the competent team members to complete your requirements under the Australian Standards AS3012 for construction sites and AS3760 for in service sites (workplaces).

This is an indicative guide and manufacturers recommendations may vary. The importance of selecting the correct RCD/ Safety Switch is normally left to an electrical contractor like FCF to ensure the device is fit for purpose. Our team are trained and can identify different RCDs and their requirements.
