Asset tagging & reporting service

An asset register is not required under the appliance testing standard:

Although an asset register is mentioned in AS/NZS 3760 it is not a requirement to have one under the standard.

The important thing for safety is that your appliances are professionally tested and tagged at regular intervals and

that all staff check the appliance for signs of damage before every use.

We help educate your staff with simple basic notice board brochures, web links and free a 0800 info service.

Some appliance testing company's push for you to have an asset register created and maintained by them at extra ongoing cost.

We also provided this service in the past however we realised that our clients were not getting any advantage for the

extra work and cost of the asset register for the following reasons:

The register quickly goes out of date as appliances are move, deleted or replaced throughout the year.

When appliances are moved the retest date on the register may change e.g. when an extension lead used in an office where the

retest frequency is five years is moved to a workshop where the retest frequency is six months or one year depending on the environment.

The asset register usually sits unused from one year to the next.

Of course there are reasons to have an asset register e.g. for company accounting purposes however all assets (not just electrical appliances)

over a certain value should be included and there are specialist companies that provide that service.

We have decided to stick to what we do best - Appliance testing for safety.
