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 — 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

Testing and tagging

Hi All, I have been reading through your blogs as a result of a google search where I found the new draft 3760. As per normal, I find that every person has a different interpretation of the standard and every state has different regulations to amke it work. If you want to look at a professional testing and tagging company go to our site www.awtt.com.au. We pride ouselves on being upfront and honest towards assisting customers to achieve their levels of satifactory compliance to the legislation. We don't rip people off as we are an electrical contractor not a doggy one day course company. Anyway, It is good to see discussion regarding workplace safety and I have had my plug. Good luck with your theatre ventures and thank you for putting up the link to the download as even though we are within the industry, guess what no notification. It would have been nice to be asked in on the draft process, as we conduct a few more tests in the real world unlike the panel of academics and office bound manager that appear to be the decsion makers. ( not one professional testing company) Gripe gripe. But good luck anyway
