So, what is the test and tag process? Firstly, a trained electrician will conduct a visual inspection of your equipment. Next, they’ll conduct thorough electrical checks to ensure no problems aren’t visible to the eye. Finally, if the testing process results in a pass, they’ll provide a full-sized tag declaring the device suitable for use. In addition, Failures are reported directly to you so faulty equipment can be removed.
