What is Appliance Testing to the Latest NZS 3760 Standard?

At Sparky G, we test and tag all plug-in electrical appliances—such as computers, heaters, extension leads, fans, and power tools—to ensure they are safe from electric shock and fire hazards. This service helps your business meet the latest electrical and occupational health & safety (OHS) compliance requirements, giving you peace of mind and protecting your people, property, and reputation.

Why is This Important?

Most dangerous electrical faults are not visible. They can only be identified through specialised electrical testing. Without regular testing, there’s no way to confirm that an appliance is safe—and that puts your staff, customers, and business at risk.

What Happens If You Don’t Test & Tag?

Sparky G says, don’t risk it.

• An accident involving an untested or unsafe appliance could result in serious legal consequences under OHS laws.

• Your brand could suffer from negative publicity and reputational damage among staff, clients, and competitors.

• Your fire insurance claim may be denied if you are found to have neglected basic safety procedures.

2. Service Excellence:
   Our team is professional, polite, and non-intrusive. We work around your operations seamlessly and deliver with minimal disruption.

3. Independent Compliance Audit:

What Does Test and Tag Cost ?

Test and tag services typically range from $1.50 to $5 per item (excluding GST). However, this is a general guideline—not a fixed rate. Pricing can vary depending on several key factors specific to your site and requirements.

Key Factors That Influence Test & Tag Pricing

1. Location of the Site
   Travel time and distance to your site may impact the overall cost, especially for remote or multi-site jobs.

2. Volume of Items to Be Tested
   Larger quantities may qualify for bulk pricing, while smaller jobs might have a minimum call-out fee.

3. Site Layout & Accessibility
   Testing is more efficient in open, accessible areas. Tight spaces, ceiling-mounted appliances, or equipment in active work zones can increase time and labour.
