Fully Mobile and Reliable


Red Tag Services provides professional RCD Testing for businesses, rental properties, and body corporates across Brisbane West. If you're responsible for electrical safety, regular RCD testing is not optional — it’s essential.

 

What Is an RCD?

 

An RCD (Residual Current Device), also known as a safety switch, is designed to cut power instantly if it detects a problem — like someone receiving an electric shock or a fault in an appliance. These devices save lives and are required in many workplaces and rental properties under Queensland law.

 

Why RCD Testing Is Important?

 

  • Prevent Electric Shocks – RCDs trip within milliseconds to stop current flow and protect people.
  • Reduce Fire Risk – Prevent fires caused by current leakage or faulty wiring.
  • Legal Requirement – Testing must follow AS/NZS 3760:2022 and QLD Electrical Safety Regulation 2013.
  • Compliance Confidence – Keep WHS records up to date and avoid penalties or insurance issues.
