Electrical Test and Tag Frequency and Tag Colours

Electrical Test and Tag Colours

If you want to test your appliances but you’re confused with test and tag colours for a particular industry’s pattern. Also, you should know what the requirements according to Australian standards are.  Electrical Test and Tag Colours are red, green, blue, black, white, and yellow.

The following colours are recommended for industry colour pattern test tags in Australia. They are applied according to the retest period and test frequency. Test frequency can be determined by the environment in which the appliance is operational. All the colour coding patterns are recommended by AS/NZS 3012:2010 standards for electrical installation, including construction and demolition of the sites.

Hire experts from Tagee to know the Electrical Testing and Tagging Frequency.

What Colour Should Your Test Tags Be?

Tagging colours isn’t a law-making requirement. But, test and tag colours are recommended in Australia mainly for construction sites where colour code tags are administered by industries or organization. Using any specific colour is not legally mandatory for those not in particular sectors. You can choose electrical tag colours according to the clients’ specifications for tagging.

Tagee recommends you assign a different test and tag colours for the safer retesting period; you may re-change them from time to time so that you will know which appliances need a retest.
