Test and tag is the inspection and electrical testing of portable appliances and leads, tagged with the test date and next due date, and recorded in a register.

We assess the site, equipment, environment, item count and existing records before setting the testing scope. The quote covers the agreed visual inspections, electrical tests, tags, failed-item reporting and asset register. For testing intervals, equipment classes, records and compliance details, see the full detail on test and tag.
Balwyn's heritage overlay precincts include the Burke Road Commercial Precinct (HO800), and older shopfronts were rarely wired with an outlet for every till, heater and coffee machine, so power boards and extension leads tend to fill the gaps. That is the equipment test and tag is meant to catch: cords worn at the plug, boards daisy-chained behind a counter, and heaters running off leads.
For homes, the main users are landlords. At the 2021 Census, 26.7% of occupied dwellings in Balwyn were rented, and while a rental provider's regular electrical safety check covers the installation, a fridge, heater or washing machine left for the tenant is portable equipment worth testing too. Each item gets a visual inspection, earth continuity and insulation tests where they apply, and a dated tag; anything that fails is taken out of service rather than handed back. How often to retest depends on how hard the equipment works, so an office lamp and a tradesperson's drill sit on different schedules.

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.

It depends on the environment, from three months on construction sites to five years for low-risk office equipment. We set the intervals per asset class and remind you when they're due.
