Test and Tag Auckland

A visual check of all appliances to identify any problems or defects. The following equipment checks shall be made by visual and physical inspection of all equipment:

• Check for obvious damage, defects, or modifications in the equipment and its accessories, connectors, plugs or cord extension sockets; and for discoloration that may indicate exposure to excessive heat, chemicals or moisture.
• Check that flexible cords are effectively anchored to equipment, plugs, connectors and cord extension sockets.

• Check for damage to flexible cords to ensure that:

  • The inner cores of flexible cords are not exposed or twisted.
  • The external sheaths are not cut, abraded, twisted, or damaged to such an extent that the insulation of the inner cores is visible.
  • Unprotected conductors or the use of banding insulation tape are not in evidence.

The purpose of testing is to detect the unobservable faults not found by the visual inspection process and forms an integral part of the inspection/testing process. The following types of electrical tests are performed depending upon the class of appliance:

•  Earth Continuity Test
•  Leakage Test
•  Insulation Test
•  Polarity Test

Finally, a computer-generated report or asset register will be provided to client with the following information:

• Site Name
• Appliance Location
• Asset ID
• Asset Description
• Name of Technician (who performed the test)
• Test Instrument’s
• Serial Number
• Test Date
• Retest Period
• Next Test Date
• Test Results

The report is provided by a soft-copy for easy transfer. This report can be used as Asset Management Register. When equipment approaches the retest date, we send you a courtesy email and give phone reminders.
