What is Test and Tag?

Test and tag is a process of inspecting, testing, and tagging electrical equipment to ensure its safety and compliance with relevant regulations and standards. This essential service helps identify and mitigate potential electrical hazards, reducing the risk of accidents, injuries, and property damage.

Test and Tag Process

Our qualified technicians follow a systematic process to test and tag electrical equipment:

Visual Inspection: We visually inspect each piece of equipment for signs of damage, wear, or defects.

​

Electrical Testing: We use state-of-the-art test and tag machines to perform electrical tests, including insulation resistance, earth continuity, and polarity checks.

​

Tagging: Once the equipment passes testing, we affix a durable tag indicating the test date, next test due date, and technician details for easy identification.

Regular testing helps identify faulty equipment that may pose electrical hazards, preventing accidents, injuries, and costly downtime. By ensuring that your electrical equipment is safe and compliant, you demonstrate your commitment to workplace safety and protect the well-being of your employees and customers.
