⚠ NSW BUSINESS OWNERS — KNOW YOUR DUTIES

Electrical testing is mandatory for higher-risk plug-in equipment.

In NSW, businesses must have plug-in electrical equipment regularly inspected and tested by a competent person when normal use exposes it to conditions likely to cause damage — including moisture, heat, vibration, dust, corrosive chemicals or mechanical damage.

Your testing requirements and intervals depend on the equipment and its operating environment. Construction and demolition sites have additional requirements. Keep a record of testing, which may be a tag attached to the equipment.
