Why testing and tagging matters
Neither testing and tagging or RCD testing should be thought of as just box-ticking exercises for Adelaide businesses — testing the electrical health of appliances, cables and systems and then tagging them to verify that they are safe is one of the simplest ways qualified electricians can catch damaged leads, failed appliances and non-functioning safety switches before they cause electric shock, fire or costly downtime. RCD testing is just as important, because a safety switch only protects people if it actually trips when current leaks to earth - so making sure that it works as intended is absolutely crucial. It's also important to remember that each workplace should be tested on a different cycle: offices, workshops, warehouses, outdoor sites and commercial kitchens all carry different electrical risks, so the schedule should suit the environment rather than follow a one-size-fits-all routine.
Our professional team at SA Metro Electrical start each service with visual inspection and electrical testing of plug-in equipment, extension leads and portable devices, followed by durable tagging and accurate records so you know what was tested, when it was tested and when it is due again. Our testing program also separates quick user checks from formal instrument testing - we keep clear records, and make sure new, repaired and second-hand equipment is brought into your existing system properly.
We can work around your operating hours where practical — timing confirmed per job.

Recordkeeping and handover
What you receive depends on the job, but for all our testing and tagging or RCD testing services, either at homes or places of business Adelaide wide, our team typically provides:
A practical register/list of tested items (site/job dependent)
How often should testing be done?
Testing frequency depends on your site, equipment type, and how it's used - no two jobs are the same, and at SA Metro Electrical we advise testing frequency depending on the situation that is unique to your home or business.
Pass/fail outcomes for tested items
We can help you set a sensible schedule based on your environment and internal requirements.
If you have a site policy, audit requirement, or strata/management standard, tell us up front and we'll align to it.
Clear invoicing that matches the work completed
Notes on any items that need repair or replacement (if identified)
Quotes and pricing structure
The pricing on jobs we undertake here at SA Metro Electrical depends on the scope — when it comes to testing and tagging, and RCD testing, things like the number of items/RCDs, access, site layout, and scheduling constraints are just a few of the factors we take into consideration. We take electrical safety and the health of your electrical appliances, circuit boards, inverters and power supply points as seriously as you do, and we'll always complete your job to the highest standard possible. We know that the cost of living is crucial, and at SA Metro Electrical we're dedicated on providing value for money and a fair price for work done, and we'll make sure that our pricing is transparent for all our customers.

Whilst we provide emergency electrical work 24/7 for homes and properties, we also like to take the time to discuss larger jobs with you in detail, and work out a time where we can come and do a full site inspection. This helps us to fully ascertain the scope of the job and what will be required to complete it to your satisfaction, and we'll be up-front with you when we give you our honest advice on what your job requires including a timeframe to completion and a transparent, fairly priced quote.
