From Andy's post on the ALIA web sit: Draft of Test & Tag standard available for comment Posted on Monday, November 23rd, 2009 The draft of DR 3760, In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment is available to comment on. The closing date for comment on this draft Standard is 12 February 2010. This draft is a revision of AS/NZS 3760:2003, and specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of low voltage single phase and polyphase electrical equipment, connected to the electrical supply by a flexible cord and/or connecting device. This draft also includes fixed RCDs and portable inverters. NOTE â€” Additional requirements for portable generators are covered by AS/NZS 3012. [Hint: This draft will look VERY much like the final version which will cost you abut $100 to buy, so it's well worth downloading - even if you don't intend to make a comment.] You can download a copy of this draft from the ALIA web site. http://www.alia.com.au/standards/Draft_3760.doc

I have a small amount of equipment of my own that I am currently testing and tagging, I have reached item no 263. This of course includes over 150 extension cables. It's hot, some of the gear is quite dusty and I'm getting sick of it. But if i didn't have up to date testing records and had an accident I'd be in deep poo. The Fringe is coming up and most of my gear will be hanging in theatres. I find it difficult to convince some of my clients that their equipment must be done. I have one client who strongly resists my insistence very year to test and tag her cables. She doesn't seem to think she should have too. The reality of the law seems to be lost on some people. She tends to say " but you tested all my gear last year surely it doesn't have to be done again." Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
