Electrical safety is a critical requirement in every Australian workplace. Ensuring electrical equipment is tested, tagged, and compliant is not only best practice—it is a legal obligation under Australian safety legislation.
If you’re looking to gain recognised skills in electrical equipment testing, Nara Training’s UEERL0003 – Conduct in-service safety testing of electrical cord-connected equipment and cord assemblies is the ideal Test and Tag course in Bunbury or Perth.
Delivered at our Bunbury Training Centre and Perth (Forrestfield) Training Centre, this nationally accredited course provides the practical skills, confidence, and compliance knowledge required to safely perform Test and Tag activities in line with AS3760:2022.
Why Test and Tag Training Is Essential
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 and Work Health and Safety Regulations 2022, portable electrical equipment and residual current devices (RCDs) must be inspected, tested, and tagged by either:
- A licensed electrician, or
- A competent person
To be recognised as a competent person for Test and Tag, individuals must demonstrate that they:
- Have completed a nationally accredited Test and Tag course with an RTO
- Hold a Statement of Attainment displaying the RTO’s registration number
- Are trained and competent in using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT)
- Use PAT equipment that is regularly calibrated and verified
- Can conduct inspections in line with AS3760:2022
- Maintain accurate testing records and logbooks
Nara Training’s Test and Tag course ensures you meet all employer, contractor, and legislative requirements.

Other Workplaces
Testing frequency is determined by a risk assessment, considering factors such as:
- Exposure to moisture or dust
- Heat, vibration, or mechanical damage
