FAQ

Test and tag questions, answered

Everything Sydney businesses ask us about testing and tagging, in plain English.

How much does test and tag cost in Sydney?

With SydTag it's $6.50 per item for the first 100 items, $5.50 for items 101–200, $4.50 for items 201–400 and $3.50 for items 401–500, with a $250 minimum job charge. Over 500 items? We'll tailor a full quote. See the full pricing page for an instant estimate.

How long does testing take?

Around 1–2 minutes per item. A typical 100-item office is done in a couple of hours, and we work around your staff so there's minimal disruption.

Do you need the power shut off?

No. Items are tested one at a time, and computers/servers can be scheduled so nothing important is interrupted.

What happens if an item fails?

It's tagged out of service and listed in your report with the reason, so you can repair or replace it. No surprise charges.

Do we get a report?

Yes — every job includes a full asset register: each item, its pass/fail result, and the next retest date. Perfect for audits, insurers and site managers.

Do you test microwaves for radiation leaks?

Yes — microwave radiation leak testing is a quick add-on to any test and tag visit. We check that the door seals aren't leaking radiation above safe limits, keeping kitchen and lunchroom staff safe. Tick "Microwaves to be leak tested" on the booking form.

What areas of Sydney do you service?

SydTag services all of Greater Sydney, including the CBD, North Shore, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Western Sydney, Parramatta, the Hills District, Sutherland Shire, the Northern Beaches and South West Sydney.

Do you do after-hours or weekend visits?

Yes. Tell us in the booking form and we'll schedule around your business.

Is test and tag legally required?

WHS law requires you to ensure electrical equipment is safe; testing to AS/NZS 3760 is the accepted way to demonstrate it. On construction sites, 3-monthly testing is mandatory. Read more about AS/NZS 3760.
