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

Mon, 11 Jan 2010, 08:56 amI wonder how many comeatre groups do actualy have a 'Log' book, or for that matter have any form of PAT testing &/or risk assesment in place? This is not only with electrical equipment, but also for sets & any 'House' safety procedures, be they for general work place or in an emergency.
How many group commitees actualy ensure thier FOH, SM's or techies know what to do in the case of fire, evacuation or an electricution. Do they have practices in place to deal with these situations or is it just easier to chuck the bodies outside the fence line to save on the paper work!
