Our services are fully aligned with AS/NZS 3760:2022 and WorkSafe regulations, helping you meet your legal obligations and create a safer environment for employees and visitors.

RCDs (Residual Current Devices) are life-saving safety switches designed to prevent electric shock and reduce the risk of electrical fires. However, like any safety mechanism, they need to be tested regularly to ensure they will operate effectively when needed.


Why RCD Testing Matters


RCDs monitor the flow of electricity through a circuit and quickly shut off power if a fault is detected. Without regular testing, you risk relying on a device that may not function correctly in an emergency. What is at stake:

  • 🟑 Electric Shock Risk:

    Faulty or non-responsive RCDs can fail to trip, exposing individuals to serious electrical hazards.

  • 🟑 Fire Risks:

    Undetected faults in electrical circuits can lead to overheating, increasing the likelihood of fires.

  • 🟑 Non-Compliance Penalties:

    Failure to test RCDs can result in legal penalties and breaches of WHS obligations.

  • 🟑 False Sense of Security:

    An untested RCD might appear functional, but internal faults can go unnoticed without proper testing.


Our Comprehensive Services


  • 🟑 Visual Safety Inspections:

    We check RCDs for physical damage, wear, and correct installation.

  • 🟑 Push Button & Operating Time Testing:

    We conduct both push-button and trip-time (operating time) testing to ensure your RCDs respond within the correct time frame under simulated fault conditions.

  • 🟑 Digital Reporting & Compliance Logs:

    Detailed reports and asset registers provide full audit readiness.

  • 🟑 Identification & Labelling:

    Each RCD is fitted with a durable, non-reusable tag indicating a clear pass/fail status, test date, retest due date, and tester identification

  • 🟑 Routine Testing Scheduling:

    We monitor your testing schedule and send reminders when retesting is due β€” no missed deadlines or compliance gaps.


Testing Intervals in Australia


RCD testing frequencies vary based on workplace environment, risk level, and RCD type (portable or fixed), as mandated by AS/NZS 3760:2022 and state WorkSafe regulations. High-risk settings, such as construction and demolition sites, require full testing every 3 months, with monthly push-button tests. Offices and low-risk environments typically need portable RCDs tested every 24 months and fixed RCDs every 12–24 months, alongside 6-monthly push-button tests. For detailed standards and compliance requirements, visit WorkSafe Queensland or explore the AS/NZS 3760:2022 Standards Australia.
