Test and Tag Requirements in NSW

NSW businesses and persons conducting a business or undertaking must ensure that certain plug-in electrical equipment is regularly inspected and tested by a competent person. This applies when equipment is used in conditions likely to cause damage or reduce its expected lifespan, such as exposure to moisture, heat, vibration, mechanical damage, corrosive chemicals or dust.

In NSW, a competent person is someone who has acquired the knowledge and skills required to inspect and test electrical equipment through training, qualifications or experience. Testing frequency depends on the workplace, equipment and associated risks. AS/NZS 3760 provides guidance on inspection, testing and tagging methods and recommended intervals.

Testing records must include the name of the person who performed the test, the test date, the outcome and when the next test is due. Records must be retained until the equipment is tested again, permanently removed from the workplace or disposed of.

This course develops practical skills in visually inspecting electrical equipment, using a portable appliance tester and recording test results in accordance with applicable requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an electrician to complete this course?

No. You don't need to be an electrician or have any previous electrical experience to complete the course.

In New South Wales, you don't need an electrician's licence to perform the inspection and pass/fail testing covered by this course, but you must be trained and competent to carry out the work safely and correctly.

Is this qualification recognised throughout Australia?

Yes. After successfully completing the course, you'll receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for UEESS00174 – Electrical Safety Testing of Electrical Cord Connected Equipment and Cord Assemblies Skill Set.

Because testing and tagging requirements can vary between states, territories, industries and workplaces, you should always follow the requirements that apply where you are working.

What does being a "competent person" mean in NSW?

In NSW, a competent person is someone who has acquired, through training, qualifications or experience, the knowledge and skills required to inspect and test electrical equipment safely and correctly.

Completing nationally recognised test and tag training and being assessed as competent provides evidence of these capabilities.

Is a one-day course enough to test and tag confidently on my own?

The face-to-face training takes one full day, but it also includes approximately three to four hours of online WHS preparation and a short skills check.

Classes include both theory and extensive hands-on practice using portable appliance testers. You'll be assessed on the required knowledge and practical skills before completing the course.

What equipment will I learn to test?

You'll learn how to visually inspect, test and tag common low-voltage cord-connected electrical equipment and cord assemblies. This includes items such as portable appliances, power tools, extension leads, IEC leads and power boards.

You'll also learn how to use a portable appliance tester, identify safe and unsafe equipment, apply the appropriate tags and record your testing results.

What isn't covered by this course?

The course doesn't cover electrical installation, repairs or modifications. It also doesn't include plug top replacement or three-phase test and tag training, which are available as separate courses.

You'll learn to recognise when equipment is outside your training or requires attention from a licensed electrician or another appropriately qualified person.

Do I need to bring my own portable appliance tester to the course?

No. Portable appliance testers and the equipment required for training are provided on the day.

If you already own a PAT, you're welcome to bring it so you can practise using the model you'll work with after the course.

Does my qualification expire or require refresher training?

Your Statement of Attainment doesn't have an expiry date. However, you're responsible for maintaining current knowledge and practical competency.

Refresher training is recommended if you haven't used your skills for some time or if relevant standards, equipment or workplace requirements change.

Can I use this qualification to start my own test and tag business?

Yes. The qualification can provide the competency basis for offering test and tag services in Australia. You don't need an electrician's licence to perform testing and tagging if you meet NSW's competent-person requirements.

Starting a business involves additional responsibilities, including appropriate business registration and insurance, suitable testing equipment, accurate records and compliance with any client or industry-specific requirements.

The qualification doesn't authorise you to undertake electrical repairs, installation or other licensed electrical work.

What happens if I'm unsure how to test after the course?

You can contact our team for free lifetime technical support by phone or email.

Whether you need help using your PAT, selecting the appropriate test or dealing with an unfamiliar item, our team can guide you. If the equipment falls outside the scope of your training or requires electrical work, we'll help you identify when it should be referred to an appropriately qualified person.
