FAQ's
How often do I need to get my equipment tested?
This depends on the type of equipment and its usage. However, the Australian Standard AS 3760 recommends testing electrical equipment and RCDs (Residual Current Devices) every six months in hostile environments and every 12 months in standard environments. Fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, blankets, hose reels, and emergency exit lighting, should be tested and serviced annually according to AS 1851.
