Test & Tag Electrical – Safety & Compliance
Electrical equipment is used daily in every workplace, from offices and shops to factories and schools. But worn, damaged, or untested appliances can pose serious fire and safety risks. Regular test and tag electrical services ensure your equipment remains safe, compliant, and ready to use. At FCF Fire & Electrical, we provide reliable testing, tagging, and reporting to keep your workplace secure and up to standard.
Compliance You Can Trust
Eletrical testing and tagging must comply with AS3760: In-service Safety Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. This standard ensures appliances are safe for continued use and helps employers meet Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) requirements. Non-compliance can result in penalties, insurance issues, and, most importantly, preventable accidents.
How can we help?
Our test and tag services include comprehensive electrical safety testing to keep your workplace
compliant and hazard-free.
- Thorough inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances.
- Tagging to confirm compliance, with clear dates for retesting.
- Replacement recommendations for unsafe or damaged equipment.

Imagine an employee using an old extension lead in a warehouse. Without proper testing,
exposed wiring could cause a shock or spark, leading to a fire. Our routine test and tag

FAQs
What does test and tag mean for fire equipment?
Test and tag involves checking the electrical safety of powered fire protection equipment—such as fire indicator panels, pumps, and emergency lighting—to ensure they operate safely and reliably during an emergency.
How often should fire equipment be electrically tested?
Testing intervals vary depending on the equipment type and risk environment, but generally, every 6 to 12 months is recommended to comply with AS/NZS 3760 and fire safety maintenance standards. FCF can set up a tailored testing schedule for your site.
Why is testing electrical fire equipment important?
Electrical faults can cause critical safety systems—like pumps, alarms, and panels, to fail when they’re needed most. Regular testing reduces downtime, ensures reliability, and keeps your site compliant with NSW fire safety regulations.
Who is qualified to test and tag fire safety equipment?
Only licensed and trained technicians with knowledge of both electrical and fire systems should perform this work. FCF Fire & Electrical Sydney’s dual-qualified team ensures all equipment is tested, tagged, and compliant with both electrical and fire standards.
Will I receive compliance documentation after testing?
Yes. After every service, we provide detailed test reports and compliance records, showing all fire equipment tested, results, and retest dates—ready for your Annual Fire Safety Statement or audit requirements.
