Product Size: 30 x 110mm
Finish: PVC. Adhesive. Flat Pack. Weather Resistant.
The BSL 109 features tearproof weatherproof polypropylene construction specifically engineered for outdoor electrical equipment applications where labels face rain, UV exposure, and harsh weather conditions. The weatherproof no fade ink technology ensures testing dates, retest dates, and tester identification remain legible throughout exposure to Australian outdoor conditions. The strong adhesive backing maintains attachment despite moisture and temperature extremes, whilst the writable surface accepts permanent markers and industrial pens. The blue colour supports annual colour coded testing systems common in Australian electrical safety programs and outdoor workplace compliance requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What electrical equipment requires test and tag labels in Australian workplaces?
All portable electrical equipment including power tools, extension leads, portable appliances and equipment that can be readily moved or connected to different outlets requires regular testing and tagging under Australian workplace safety regulations. This includes drills, grinders, fans, computers and monitors that move between desks, portable heaters, phone and laptop chargers, RCDs, powerboards, portable lights and any other equipment with a flexible cable and plug. Fixed installed equipment like air conditioners, ovens and permanently wired machinery generally doesn't require test and tag unless it can be unplugged and moved. The specific testing frequency depends on the environment, with construction sites requiring 3 monthly testing, general manufacturing 6 monthly and low risk offices 5 yearly for most equipment.
How often must indoor electrical equipment be tested and tagged?
Testing frequency for indoor electrical equipment depends on the workplace environment classification, with hostile environments like construction requiring testing every 3 months, general environments like factories and workshops every 6 months and protected environments like offices up to 5 years for certain equipment types. Individual equipment also has specific intervals, with handheld power tools and equipment in harsh conditions needing more frequent testing than stationary appliances in controlled spaces. RCDs and safety equipment typically require testing every 3 months regardless of environment. Your organisation's test and tag schedule should document the frequency for each equipment category based on AS/NZS 3760, with more frequent testing for high risk items or environments. Never extend testing intervals beyond standard maximums even if equipment appears in good condition.
What's the difference between indoor and outdoor test and tag labels?
Indoor test and tag labels can be made from paper based materials or standard adhesive labels because they're protected from weather, direct UV exposure and extreme temperature cycling that would quickly degrade these materials outdoors. Outdoor equipment requires heavy duty synthetic labels with UV stabilised materials, waterproof lamination or security flaps protecting the printed information from rain and sun, and aggressive adhesives that maintain bond strength through temperature extremes. Indoor labels are more economical and perfectly adequate for equipment used in buildings, warehouses and controlled environments. Using indoor labels on outdoor equipment results in fading within weeks and label failure within months, rendering test records illegible and creating compliance issues. Always match label durability to the equipment's actual operating environment.
What information must appear on test and tag labels to meet Australian Standards?
Test and tag labels must include the date of test, next test due date, name or identifier of the competent person who performed the test, test results confirming pass or fail status and the equipment's unique identifier or asset number. Most labels also include the testing organisation's name, type of test performed, any observations or defects noted and a unique label serial number for traceability. For failed equipment, labels must clearly indicate the fail status and the reason, with failed items tagged and removed from service. The label should be colour coded to show the month or quarter when testing was performed, following the Australian standard colour sequence to enable quick visual verification that equipment is within its testing period without reading fine print from across a room.
What should workers do if they find equipment with expired or missing test and tag labels?
Workers must not use equipment with expired, missing or illegible test and tag labels regardless of how urgent the task is, as this violates workplace electrical safety requirements and creates unacceptable risk. The equipment should be immediately tagged as out of service, removed from the work area and reported to a supervisor or safety representative. Using untested equipment exposes workers to electric shock hazards if faults have developed, violates insurance requirements that could affect injury claims and creates liability for the employer if incidents occur. Many workplaces implement regular equipment audits where supervisors or safety officers check test and tag label status, with mechanisms to ensure overdue equipment is retested before it's needed rather than discovered at point of use. Never circumvent test and tag requirements by ignoring labels or using personal equipment to avoid the tested equipment queue.
