Why it matters
In Queensland, workplaces using specified electrical equipment in certain classes of work must have it tested and tagged at set intervals, with tags showing the test date and the next due date.
The rules now sit in the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, which replaced the 2013 regulation on 1 September 2026. WorkSafe Queensland says the change doesn't add new obligations — but it's a good moment to check your schedule is right for your class of work.
Queensland test and tag intervals
| Class of work | Equipment | Test interval |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Transportable structures, fixed and transportable equipment | 6 months |
| Construction | Other equipment | 3 months |
| Manufacturing | Double insulated | 12 months |
| Manufacturing | Not double insulated | 6 months |
| Service work | Not protected by a safety switch | 12 months |
| Office work | Not protected by a safety switch | 5 years |

How often do we need test and tag?
It depends on your class of work. WorkSafe Queensland's intervals range from three months for some construction equipment to five years for office equipment that isn't protected by a safety switch. We'll confirm which class applies to you.
What happens to items that fail?
They're tagged out of service, listed in your report and given a repair or replacement recommendation.
Will testing disrupt our staff?
Each item is unplugged only briefly while it's tested, and we plan the order of work around your operations.
