Test and Tag for Universities
Cultivating Safety on Campus
Universities are vibrant, complex ecosystems, bustling with a diverse range of activities – from cutting-edge research in laboratories to administrative tasks in offices, practical lessons in workshops, and student life in common areas. Each of these environments relies heavily on electrical equipment, making robust Test and Tag services a critical component of campus safety management and regulatory compliance.
At Test and Tag Kiwi, we provide comprehensive electrical testing and portable appliance testing specifically tailored for universities across Auckland and throughout New Zealand. We understand the unique challenges of a large, multi-faceted institution, including high usage rates of equipment, diverse user groups, and the need for minimal disruption to academic life.
Our appliance test and tag procedures are conducted by experienced and professional technicians who are adept at navigating the varied settings within a university. 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 a projector in a lecture hall to a power tool in an engineering workshop, meets the required safety benchmarks. The frequency of testing will vary significantly across campus, with high-use or high-risk areas (like workshops or labs) requiring more frequent checks than administrative offices or student common rooms.
