Test and Tag for Old Age Centers
Compassionate Care, Confident Safety
In old age centres and retirement villages, creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment is paramount. Residents often rely on a range of personal and facility-provided electrical appliances, and their vulnerability makes rigorous electrical safety checks even more critical. Ensuring every lamp, kettle, mobility aid charger, and medical device is safe is not just about compliance; it’s about safeguarding the well-being and peace of mind of the elderly residents and the dedicated staff who care for them.
At Test and Tag Kiwi, we provide specialised electrical testing and portable appliance testing services for old age centres across Auckland and throughout New Zealand. We understand the sensitive nature of these environments, prioritising minimal disruption, respect for residents’ privacy, and the highest standards of safety.
Our appliance test and tag procedures are carried out by compassionate and professional technicians who are experienced in working discreetly within residential care settings. We meticulously inspect and test all portable electrical items, strictly adhering to New Zealand’s Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 and the AS/NZS 3760:2022 standard for in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. This ensures every appliance, from communal kitchen equipment to personal room items, meets the required safety benchmarks. The testing frequency for old age centres typically falls into a lower risk category, but specific items or high-use areas might require more frequent checks.
