How often does school equipment need testing?

AS/NZS 3760 sets out recommended intervals that vary by environment — workshops and hostile environments more often, quiet office areas less. We'll advise what applies to each part of your school rather than quoting a blanket rule.

Do you test boarding houses?

Yes — boarding houses are tested like residential settings, covering kettles, heaters, irons, lamps and student appliances.

What happens when something fails?

It's danger-tagged and reported. We explain the fault, and an electrician can be arranged where repairs are needed. The item stays out of service until it's fixed or replaced.

Can you handle a multi-campus school group?

Yes — multi-site schools are a specialty. For campuses beyond Brisbane and the Gold Coast, enquire to confirm travel and scheduling.

Test & tagfor schools.

Classrooms, IT trolleys, staffrooms, labs, workshops and halls — a school holds thousands of appliances across dozens of rooms. We test them all, planned around your term calendar so students and staff barely notice.

What gets tested in a school

The biggest item counts come from IT: laptop trolleys, chargers, power boards and extension leads in every classroom and the library. Then there's the staffroom — kettles, microwaves, fridges — plus science labs, manual arts workshops, the hall, the canteen and admin offices.

Every item gets a visual inspection first, then electrical testing suited to the equipment, then a tag showing the test date and when it's next due. Failures are danger-tagged and reported, so nothing unsafe quietly returns to a classroom.

Scheduled around your terms, not ours

Timing is everything in a school. Term breaks, pupil-free days and holiday periods are the natural windows for testing, and we plan visits around your calendar by agreement — booked early enough that you get the dates that suit your site.

Multi-building campuses are normal for us. A building-by-building plan, with access arranged in advance, means the visit runs quickly and nothing gets missed.

Records that stand up to an audit

Your report is emailed with the invoice: every item tested, every result, everything that needs attention. It's the document insurers, auditors and boards ask for.

Recommended retest intervals under AS/NZS 3760 vary by environment — a workshop is different from a library. We'll talk you through what applies to each area and can book your retest in advance so it never slips.

What schools ask us most.

Not if it's planned well. Most schools book term breaks or pupil-free days; if testing during term is needed, we work room by room around your timetable by agreement.
