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.]

Good tips Chris.The main

The main problem here locally [Perth] is to actualy get ameatre groups into doing PAT test or even basic cleaning & maintenance regimes of equipment. Generaly lanterns once they hung are regarded as a 'set & forget' situation. I doubt any would have a PAT test unit or even any tags. Except for possibly Melville Theatre.
There was a half hearted suggestion a while ago by some wally or other, that Aunty ITA actualy purchase a unit, that could be available to member comeatre groups to use as a hire or as a free member service. But I believe this was went down like a lead chook!
I think it is going to take someone to actualy get fried for this attitude to change, in the short term.
