Test and tagging is to determine if an appliance is electrically safe for personal use.

Test and tagging also referred to as; tagging, test tag, test and tag, electrical tagging, appliance testing, portable appliance test or lead tagging is a generic name given to the process of  electrically testing and visually inspecting in-service electrical equipment for personal use and/or safety issues.

The appliance undergoes a thorough visual inspection for defects such as missing components or damage and electrical tests to measure earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity.

The obvious aim of test and tagging is to determine if the appliance is electrically safe for personal use.

In Australia and New Zealand, this is done using the Standard; AS/NZS 3760:2010 “In-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment” as a reference document.

Because there is a document published on this topic by a reputable source, regulatory bodies that enforce State and Federal Occupational Health and Workplace Safety Acts and Electrical Safety Acts and Regulations within Australia and New Zealand, may list or encourage the use of this Standard as a minimum requirement.
