I HAVE SOME APPLIANCES THAT NEED TO BE TESTED AND TAGGED HOW OFTEN DO THEY HAVE TO BE DONE,
AND HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Testing and tagging is completed to AS/NZS 3760:2010 which specifies how regularly appliances must be tested according to their type and enviroment. The shortest length is 3 monthly and this goes right through to 5 yearly (for appliances in an office enviroment). Rates start from $4.50 +GST, however often it is more cost effective (for larger numbers of items) for it to be done at an hourly rate plus travelling and the test tags. Contact us for more information on the most cost effective solution for you.
