electrical Testing & Tagging faqs

  • Testing and tagging is the process of checking all electrical tools, leads and appliances; which plug into a wall socket to ensure that businesses, schools, worksites, etc. remain safe for employees, students and all other users of the equipment in accordance with New Zealand legislation and Australia/ New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS).

  • Our standard price for a single-phase appliance to be tested and tagged starts from $6.00 per appliance.

    We are able to test and tag 3-phase appliances and RCDs from $6.00 per appliance.

    In addition to this, we apply a standard $10.00 charge for the process and delivery of a Detailed Asset List and Detailed Latest Test Results Registers.

    These prices are GST exclusive.

    Our number one selling point is that we offer our prices up-front and do not hide costs from the clients. Our standard rates are just that and we do not add extra charges to the invoice. Other companies offering lower prices often add additional charges on top of their per-tag cost which can include an hourly rate. These hidden fees can push the per-tag rate up so we recommend getting detailed quotes from all prospective technicians you are looking at using, and ensuring that the small print is read and understood before accepting the quote.
