Our Test & Tag Services
Darwin work covers offices, shops, industrial sites and government facilities. For what the test is, read what test and tag involves. For the standard, read how AS/NZS 3760 is used.
Darwin testing and tagging
Portable appliances are inspected and tested in accordance with AS/NZS 3760. The inspection and test are the work; the tag records the result. There is no single interval for every workplace, and a test record does not on its own make a workplace compliant.
Thermal imaging in Darwin
Thermal imaging of switchboards and electrical equipment in Darwin shows the temperatures seen on the day. The report describes what was scanned and any hot spots found.
RCD testing in Darwin
RCD testing checks how a safety switch behaves under the test conditions. It does not show how the device will behave later. An ordinary circuit breaker is not an RCD. Trip testing opens the protected circuit. The result is recorded for each device tested. There is no single national retest interval. Repair or replacement is separate electrical work.
Appliance register and reporting
The register lists the items tested, the date and the result. It is a record of the visit that you can keep with your workplace safety records.

FAQ Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Test and tag is a visual check and an electrical test of a portable appliance, carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 3760. A tag can show the test date and the result.
There is no single interval for every workplace or every appliance. It depends on the equipment and where it is used. This page does not set an office interval or a construction interval.
AGE also works outside the Northern Territory. A Darwin booking is for the Darwin area unless other travel is agreed when you book.
Portable appliances such as power tools, office equipment, kitchen appliances and extension leads. RCD testing is a separate check, not test and tag of an ordinary circuit breaker. Thermal imaging is a separate scan of electrical equipment.
Appliance testing is arranged around the site. RCD trip testing opens the protected circuit, so that part of the visit can interrupt power on the circuit being tested.
You receive a digital report and a register of the items tested, with the result. These are records of the test. They are not a compliance certificate, and they do not by themselves meet a workplace safety duty.
