I can’t recommend Chad from Protec highly enough! Not only does he look after all my fire extinguishers with precision and professionalism, but he also went above and beyond when servicing my poorly performing air conditioning unit.
It was completely frozen up when he opened it, but Chad’s patience and expertise really shone through as he carefully defrosted it and gave it the most thorough cleaning imaginable. The unit looks brand new and runs like a dream now! His attention to detail and dedication to getting the job done right are truly impressive. Thank you, Chad, for your outstanding service!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is electrical test and tag, and why is it necessary?
Test and tag is the process of inspecting and testing electrical appliances for safety in accordance with AS/NZS 3760:2022. It involves visually inspecting the equipment, conducting electrical testing, and attaching a compliance tag. It helps prevent electrical shocks, faults, and fires — especially in shared, high-use environments.
Can I Test and Tag My Own Equipment?
While it is possible to test and tag your own electrical equipment, you must have the proper training and qualifications to ensure accuracy and compliance. In Australia, testing and tagging should be performed by a “competent person”, meaning someone who has undergone appropriate training and understands AS/NZS 3760:2022 safety standards, documentation requirements, and testing procedures.
Professional test and tag technicians use specialised equipment and have the expertise to identify electrical faults, assess compliance, and ensure workplace safety. Hiring a qualified service provider ensures thorough, reliable, and legally compliant testing, reducing the risk of electrical hazards and giving you complete peace of mind.
How often should electrical appliances be tested and tagged?
Testing frequency depends on your workplace risk level:
- High-risk environments (construction, workshops, factories) – Every 3 months
- Office & retail environments – Every 6-12 months
- Residential & low-risk properties – Every 24 months
