Each tag has a unique colour code but what do they all mean?

Each colour represents a period of the year EG: January to March is Red.

Listed below is a table for the sections.

This is the testing of electrical appliances for safety purposes.

In affect a test and tag machine is use to push up to 500 volts through the appliance

to ensure that there is no earth leakage, open or loose wires.

If a fault is present in the appliance then a fail result will appear on the machine with the reason.

Every electrical appliance has a different class code such as class 1 or class 2.

A class one product has an earth wire attached. A product might be a microwave or a compressor.

Where as a class 2 product does not have an earth wire. A product might be a circular saw or battery charger.

To identify the product difference the class 2 item will have  a symble of a square inside a square such as this picture.

For more information on what test and tag is feel free to contact one of our friendly staff.

A lot of people as us “why test and tag”? And I always reply by saying it all comes down to safety!

Can you really put a price on some one’s life?

You may have read in the papers lately that there have been a lot of fires in businesses due to faulty electrical appliances.

Having you test and tagging done by a reliable & qualified company insures that this won’t happen to you.

Not only will Wired Safe test and tag all your electrical appliance (according to the state regulations) but we also follow up by supplying you the client with a detailed CD ROM with all our test records.

Test and tag is not a should but a MUST…..

When should we have test and tagging done? This is a common question of Wired Safe.

As a general rule we say it should be done annually (every 12 months) for a business. An example of items that might fit under this catagory could be toaster microwave, computer, fax, printer, photocopier or even a laptop.

The exception to the rule is if you are in a trade and therefore you may need to have it done every 3 months to comply with state regulations. An example of items that might fit under this category might be a drill, circular saw, radio or a battery chargers.

Their are some more exceptions to the rule and I will have more information on this site soon.

However in the mean time if you are not sure if your equipment is in need feel free to contact us for more information.
