TEST & TAG · SYDNEY
Test & Tag in Sydney — done properly, first visit
Test and tag is the workplace safety check on every plug-in appliance — kettles, monitors, extension leads, power tools, kitchen equipment, chargers — required by AS/NZS 3760 and enforced by WHS regulators, insurers and construction principals. We test to the standard, tag every item with a colour-coded sticker, and hand you a digital register that tracks what's on site, what's passed, what's failed and when each item is next due.
Frequency depends on the environment: office and admin equipment is typically every 12 months; hospitality, kitchens and hire equipment every 6 months; construction and industrial every 3 months. We run scheduled visits on that cycle, remind you before the next round, and can also test any new-to-service equipment before it hits the floor.
Failed items are tagged out immediately, photographed for the register, and quoted for repair or replacement — so you keep a defensible paper trail for WHS and insurance.
HOW THE JOB RUNS
Every test & tag job, same 4 steps
- STEP 1
Site walk and count
We walk the site with you, identify every portable appliance in scope, and confirm the test cycle needed.
- STEP 2
Test to AS/NZS 3760
Visual inspection + PAT-tester earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity test on every item.
- STEP 3
Tag and register
Colour-coded tag applied to every passed item, failed items tagged out, and the digital register updated with results.
- STEP 4
Report and reminder
PDF report issued, next-due date scheduled, and you get a reminder before the next round is due.

Sarah M.
Called at 11pm with a tripping switchboard. Electrician arrived within the hour, found the fault and had us back on safely. Honest and professional.
James P.
Burning smell from a powerpoint - they took it seriously, came straight out, replaced the circuit and explained everything. Fair fixed price, no upsell.
Priya K.
Lost half the house mid-storm. Empire were the only company that actually answered. Quoted upfront, fixed in one visit. Highly recommend.
Daniel R.
Safety switch kept tripping for weeks. Other sparkies just reset it. Empire actually found the faulty appliance and the dodgy wiring behind it.
Megan T.
Burst pipe took out our power. Empire arrived super fast, made it safe and stayed until everything was running again. Lifesavers.
Chris H.
Old switchboard was sparking. They replaced it the same day, all licensed and certified. Cleanest install I've seen.
Olivia W.
Power out the entire upstairs at 9pm with a newborn at home. Empire answered, dispatched and fixed it within two hours. So grateful.
Mark D.
Got three quotes for a switchboard upgrade. Empire weren't the cheapest but they were the clearest. Best decision - immaculate workmanship.
Jess L.
Storm tripped half the unit block. Empire turned up Sunday morning, no extra weekend gouge. Just sorted it. Strata are using them from now on.
Tony B.
Called five sparkies before Empire actually picked up. They explained the issue in plain English and gave a fixed price before touching anything.
