Test Tag Colour Codes in NSW
What does the colour-coding
on electrical test tags mean?
Colour coding on electrical
test tags designates different months of the year. It is
particulary useful in industries such as construction, where
equipment is required to be tested monthly or 3-monthly.
Do I have to use colour coded test
tags?
In NSW, only business which
operate on construction sites need to use colour coded test
tags. Other industries may find coloured test tags useful,
but it is not a Workcover NSW requirement.
