What is appliance testing to the latest NZS 3760 Standard?
To test and tag plug-in appliances (e.g. computers, heaters, leads, fans, tools, etc) for safety from electric shock and fire. This gives you peace of mind and compliance with the latest electrical and OHS regulations.
Why is this important?
Many dangerous, hidden faults can only be discovered by specific electrical inspections and tests. There is no way to know that any electrical appliance is safe without electrical testing.
What if we don’t test and tag?
Comply Guy says, “Don’t go there!”
- An accident with an untested/unsafe appliance could result in a personal and business OHS prosecution.
- The unwanted negative publicity would broadcast to the world – not to mention your staff, clients and competitors – that your business failed to comply with basic safety requirements.
- And your fire insurance claim could be denied if you are deemed not to have taken reasonable care to prevent loss.
7 compelling reasons to choose Comply Guy…
- Speed and value-for-money. We’re very quick and competitively priced compared to all other testing companies, and especially compared to general electricians. That’s because we are specialists with incredible depth of experience in testing and tagging, which is our core expertise. And we have efficient systems and procedures, specialist testing equipment, and specialist training programs. Hence our claim to be THE test and tag NZ specialists.
- Impeccable service levels. All our staff are super-friendly and have great customer service skills to ensure we work seamlessly through your workplace without upsetting anyone or anything. We do our best to be as non-invasive and user-friendly as possible!
- Independent audit. You get an independent audit compared to using your own electrician.
- Specialists. Electricians generally don’t work out economically. They typically work on an hourly rate which can be expensive because, since they don’t specialise in this area or have our systems and high-speed testing equipment, they invariably take longer. Sparkies don’t do what we do on a daily basis. It’s just not their core competency to audit. And as for reminders? Forget it, it won’t happen!
- Free reminder service. We’ll remind you when your appliances are due for their next test and tag so you don’t have to worry about trying to remember retesting schedules.
- 100% rock-solid guarantee. If you’re not satisfied for any reason at all, we’ll put things right – free of charge. And if you buy a new appliance between now and your next test, we’ll test it free of charge when we’re next in the area.
