FAQs: Testing and Tagging in Lytton

Are testing and tagging mandatory in Lytton?

Yes. Did you know that any dwelling and building that holds electrical equipment with less than 20 amps current rating is required to undertake regular testing and tagging? 

If you don’t follow this mandate, not only will you be at risk for electrical emergencies but you will also face possible legal consequences.

Should testing and tagging be limited to faulty appliances only? 

Actually no. We don’t recommend that you only consult an expert electrician if you suspect a potential electrical emergency. You need to follow the prescribed test and tag intervals, depending on the type of work that your devices are used for. 

Can I test and tag electrical equipment at home or in my building?

No. Only those who are professionally allowed to carry out electrical works, testing and tagging included, can do testing and tagging. The team at JLT Services is equipped with the right training and the latest licence required to test and tag electrical equipment in Lytton. Call us at  07 3286 1663.
