What Equipment Needs to be Checked?
All equipment that operates at a voltage of over 50V, has a flexible cord and a removable plug needs to be inspected by a test and tag electrician. There are two classes of equipment that require testing and tagging:
- Class I – earthed appliances, such as toasters, irons and kettles
- Class II – Double insulated appliances, usually denoted with a square within a square symbol or the words ‘Double Insulated’. Examples include hair dryers and electric drills.
New Equipment doesn’t need to be tested – a visual inspection is all that is required for a new device to be tagged.
