Electrical safety testing in Rotorua
Test and Tag Rotorua
Short Circuit provides electrical safety testing and tagging for appliances and portable electrical equipment in homes, workplaces and community facilities across Rotorua.
We can help you organise testing for accommodation providers, schools, clubs, pubs, offices, workshops and other sites where electrical equipment needs to be checked, recorded and identified.
Understanding the service
What Is Test and Tag?
Test and Tag is a practical way to check suitable portable and plug-in electrical equipment. It combines a visual inspection with electrical tests that can help identify damage, wear and electrical safety issues that may not be obvious during normal use.
The appropriate testing approach depends on the equipment, how it is used and the environment it operates in. Testing and tagging does not replace everyday checks or the need to remove visibly damaged equipment from use.
Common items we can assess

How Test and Tag Works
-
Tell Us About the Site
Let us know the location, type of business, number of items and any timing requirements.
-
We Check the Equipment
Equipment is visually inspected, including its lead and plug, then electrically tested using procedures appropriate to the item.
-
Results Are Identified
Suitable tested items are tagged with the relevant result and date, and an appropriate test record is prepared.
-
Plan the Next Check
We can discuss a sensible testing interval based on the equipment, environment and way it is used.
Appropriate checks for each item
What Happens During Testing?
The checks used depend on the equipment. Testing may include the following steps where they are applicable:
Clear information after the visit
Test Records
Customers receive an appropriate record or report of the equipment tested and the results recorded during the visit. We can discuss the format and information you need when preparing your quote.
Clear quotes before work begins
Test and Tag Pricing
The total cost normally depends on the number and type of items, access to the site and the time needed to complete the work. A quote can include a call-out charge plus testing and tagging of each item.
Because every site is different, we provide a clear quote before arranging the visit. Contact us with your location and an approximate item count and we will explain the proposed charges.
