At McSweeney Electrical, we specialise in professional Test and Tag services across Melbourne, ensuring electrical safety and compliance for your workplace. Our licensed electricians provide thorough, reliable, and efficient testing tailored to Australian standards.

What is Test and Tag?

Test and tag is the systematic inspection, testing, and labelling of electrical appliances to verify safety and compliance with Australian standards (AS/NZS 3760). This critical procedure helps prevent electrical incidents, safeguarding your workplace. Our test and tag process includes:

Visual Inspection: Identifying visible damage, wear, and faults such as frayed cords, cracked casings, or damaged plugs.

Electrical Testing: Comprehensive testing of insulation resistance, earth continuity, and correct polarity using specialised equipment.

Labelling and Documentation: Each tested item is labelled clearly with essential details including test date, retest due date, and technician identification.
