Test and Tag in Auckland

Test and Tag in Auckland

The Conduction Company tests and tags appliances and leads for Auckland landlords, property managers, and commercial sites. Tested to AS/NZS 3760, tagged on the spot, and handed back with compliance records you can actually produce when someone asks for them.

Are You Experiencing Problems with Test and Tag Compliance?

A tag with no register behind it proves nothing when an insurer or an auditor asks, and gear that has not been checked since it arrived is usually the gear that hurts someone. Out of date tags turn up mid health and safety audit, nobody can produce the records, and nobody knows when the next retest is due. Appliances sit in tenanted properties with no compliance record, site gear takes a beating with nothing checked since the day it arrived, a failed lead comes back as a problem to sort out yourself, and the testing that would settle all of it interrupts the whole office for a day.

The Conduction Company tests and tags to AS/NZS 3760 on Auckland commercial sites and in rental properties, then hands over records you can actually produce.

Test and Tag Services in Auckland

The Conduction Company tests and tags portable appliances, leads, and extension cords to AS/NZS 3760, across Auckland offices, rentals, and construction sites. The Conduction Company is an electrical contractor with registered electricians, so anything that fails can be repaired and certified by the same company rather than handed back as a list of problems.

What does test and tag cover?

The Conduction Company tests portable appliances, leads, and extension cords to AS/NZS 3760, on site at your premises. Each item is tagged with the result and its retest date.

AS/NZS 3760 sets what a tag must show as a minimum: who did the test, the test date, a retest date, and a reference to the standard. It covers more than the obvious appliances, too. Battery chargers, cord sets, and extension leads all come under it.

How much does test and tag cost?

The estimate below is for standard test and tag work.
The Conduction Company confirms final pricing after a property assessment.

From $9.19 per tag, including GST: The Conduction Company's standard rate covers the test, the tag, and the labour to do it.

What a whole site costs depends on how many items there are and how spread out they are. That is why we quote the job rather than the item.

We quote on facts, not guesses. Before we give you a price, we carry out a proper assessment of your property and how you'll use the testing. That way you know exactly what you're buying and the total cost, with no surprises. Clear expectations from the outset, start to finish.

What records do you get after test and tag?

The Conduction Company hands over a compliance register, not just tags on leads. It shows what was tested, what passed, what failed, and when each item is due again.

A tag on a lead is no use to you if there is no record behind it. When a landlord, an insurer, or a health and safety audit asks for the records, they exist.

What happens to items that fail testing?

Anything that fails is labelled and taken out of service, as AS/NZS 3760 requires. The Conduction Company is an electrical contractor, so it can repair or replace a failed lead or appliance rather than just handing you a list of problems.

Whatever a test turns up can be fixed by the same company instead of being referred on. The standard leaves the call with you, the owner or the person responsible for safety on site: repair it, replace it, or get rid of it.

Which sites do you test and tag?

The Conduction Company tests and tags offices, workshops, retail, hospitality, rental properties, and construction sites. On a commercial site we work through methodically, so nothing gets missed and nothing gets tested twice.

For landlords and property managers with appliances in tenanted properties, we test across a portfolio and keep the records together rather than per property. Construction gear takes a beating and gets tested more often because of it, so we test it on the interval the site needs.

Test and tag can sit alongside switchboard work, emergency lighting, and maintenance, so a site has one electrical contractor rather than four.

How often does equipment need retesting?

It depends on how hard the equipment is used, and The Conduction Company sets a retest schedule to match. An office and a building site are not on the same interval.

AS/NZS 3760 sets indicative intervals by type of environment, and a responsible person can vary them after a risk assessment. Once the schedule is set, we come back when items are due.

Can test and tag happen outside trading hours?

Yes. The Conduction Company books test and tag outside a client's trading hours where that suits. Working through a site with a tester is disruptive during business hours. After-hours work may cost more than the standard rate, and we confirm that in the quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does test and tag cost?

From $9.19 per tag including GST. That covers the test, the tag, and the labour. A whole site depends on the item count and the layout, so The Conduction Company quotes the job after knowing what is there.

What standard do you test to?

AS/NZS 3760, which is the New Zealand and Australian standard for in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. The Conduction Company tags each item with the result and the date it is next due.

How often does equipment need retesting?

It depends how hard the equipment is used. The Conduction Company follows the interval table in AS/NZS 3760: factories and workshops every 6 months; gear whose cords flex, get knocked about, or work in a hostile environment every 12 months; equipment that is never flexed or abused up to 5 years; hotels, motels and hostels every 2 years; commercial cleaning gear every 6 months; hire gear before every hire and every 3 months. Construction-site gear is every 3 months under AS/NZS 3012. Most of The Conduction Company's office clients are on a 12-month round.

What happens if something fails?

It comes out of service and gets tagged as failed. The Conduction Company can repair or replace a failed lead or appliance, because we are an electrical contractor rather than a testing company, so it does not turn into a second job with a second supplier.
