Can a person who holds a National Restricted Electrical Licence (Disconnect/Reconnect) carry out testing and tagging?
A person who holds a Restricted Electrical Licence issued by the NSW Office of Fair Trading, or equivalent State agency is required to have completed a TAFE qualification following the completion of a training course of 54 hours duration. The training course covers a broad range of electrical related topics, including the use of testing instruments such as insulation resistance testers and multimeters. People holding the above licence and who have maintained their level of competency through regular on-the-job use of electrical testing instruments, should be capable of performing the inspection and testing activities outlined in the Standard AS/NZ 3760:2003.
