Appliance Inspection Tests

Keep your team safe, reduce risk, and stay on top of your compliance obligations with professional appliance testing and tagging. Green Technology Group Ltd makes the process simple – fast on-site testing, clear records, and practical support.



Why it matters

    Testing and tagging helps you demonstrate that electrical equipment is being checked and is maintained in a safe condition. While the exact approach is up to the PCBU, routine testing provides a snapshot of safety at the time of inspection and helps you identify items that need repair or removal from service.

    For schools and many workplaces, regular checks also support health and safety duties by ensuring appliances remain electrically safe and fit for use.

  • Reduce risk: Identify damaged leads, insulation faults, and unsafe appliances before they cause a shock or fire. RCD protection is also important, particularly in outdoor and damp areas.
  • Minimise disruption: Batch testing can be planned around your operations, reducing urgent callouts.
  • Stay audit-ready: Clear records make it easy to demonstrate proactive safety management.
  • Get practical next steps: We flag priorities and can often repair issues on the spot (where agreed).


What we do

  • On-site testing and tagging of portable appliances and equipment
  • Testing will be in accordance with standard AS/NZS 3760 of Electrical (Safety) Regulations 2010 (ESR), Regulation 26.

    You will receive a complete register for your site (digital and printed) listing every item tested, with pass/fail results and notes. We will repair failed items on the spot where this is possible, record the work completed, and clearly identify anything that failed and is beyond a quick fix (needs replacement or specialist repair).

  • Re-testing of repaired appliances
  • After an appliance has been repaired or maintained, its electrical safety must be verified by an authorised person. We can carry out post-repair inspections and testing in line with ESR 90 requirements and the relevant standards (AS/NZS 5762), helping you put equipment back into service with confidence.


Recommended testing frequency

The right testing interval depends on how and where the equipment is used. High-use, outdoor, or damp environments typically need more frequent testing than low-risk office equipment. We can help you set a practical schedule based on your site, your risks, and your obligations.

Typical recommendation:

  • Annual testing for most office appliances and general electrical equipment.
  • Computer and monitor power cords every 3-5 years (depending on age, condition, and warranty requirements).
