YES! All employers have a duty of care to insure they are providing a safe working evirvonment for their staff members. The OH&S Act (2000) and OH&S Regulation (2001) are the current pieces of legislation that must be followed in regards to electrical appliance safety.

Do we need to test new appliances?

NO! New appliances do need not to be tested, they do however need to be tagged to indicate the date on which they were introduced into service. Once Appliance Test & Tag Services have performed your testing service you will be provided with Introduction to Service tags at no extra charge so that you may apply them to new appliances as you need them.

Do you test RCDs (Safety Switches)?

YES! We will perform a Millisecond and push button test on your RCDs and include this information into the Appliance Register that you will be provided after our service is completed.

Do you test three phase equipment?

YES! We test three phase (polyphase/415V) equipment at the same rate as single phase appliances.

How much do you charge?

We charge per appliance that we test. We do not charge extra for three phase equipment nor for powerboards. Our prices start from as low as $3.00 per appliance. Contact the friendly staff in our office for a quote.

How often do I need to test?

The testing interval depends on the environment in which the appliance is being used. The harsher the environment then the more likely the appliance is to be damaged, hence there is a requirement for a reduced time between testing. Please see the table below for a testing schedule for the most common environments.

Fire Extinguisher Services

Ensure the safety of yourself and others with fire extinguisher testing

Fire Services

Fire extinguisher inspection must take regularly and thoroughly for all fire extinguishers installed in all commercial buildings (offices, retail stores, warehouses, factories, etc.), public buildings (hospitals, schools, universities, theatres, etc.) and multi-occupancy residential buildings. The maintenance regime for the inspection and testing of fire extinguishers & hydrants is specified in the Australia Standard AS 1851 Maintenance of Fire Protection Systems and Equipment.

When it comes to fire extinguisher maintenance and servicing there are some key points that people should be aware of to ensure they receive the appropriate level of service. The following provides some guidelines regarding correct and thorough fire extinguisher testing::

Fire extinguisher maintenance requirements

  • All fire extinguishers have to be inspected at six monthly intervals. If they don't have a pressure gauge, they may need to be weighed to check they are still full.
  • Some may require additional fire extinguisher service tasks to be carried out annually.
    Extinguishers need to be emptied, pressure tested and refilled every five years.
  • There may be other fire extinguisher servicing requirements at 3, 5 or 6 years.
  • The fire extinguisher testing intervals are to be recorded on a label or metal tag attached to the unit.
  • No other work is required, provided that the visual inspection of the extinguisher shows that it is in a serviceable condition, unless the gauge indicates the unit is under pressure or the weight is too low. Any additional fire extinguisher maintenance required must be approved by the client before being carried out.

Extinguishers must, however, be refilled, even if only partially discharged, between the five year services.

ATTS offer comprehensive fire extinguisher testing, inspection, change over & certification services that comply with all Australian Standards & Council regulations

FPA member : 14208 (Fire Protection Association)

Another advantage of using ATTS Facilities Maintenance is we can inspect all your exit and emergency lights whilst on site as well as design and implement emergency and evacuation plans.
