Protecting People and Property
Safety switches, also known as RCDs, are a critical line of defence against electrical hazards. They are designed to cut power within milliseconds, helping to prevent electric shock, serious injury or fatalities. Our commercial RCD testing services ensure your safety switches are working correctly, offering peace of mind for staff, customers and compliance inspectors.
We provide routine testing, fault diagnosis and replacement of faulty safety switches to keep your system aligned with Australian Standards. Whether you manage a single site or oversee multiple locations, we make RCD safety straightforward and hassle-free.
Why RCD Testing Matters
Having a safety switch installed is only the first step. Without regular testing, there’s no way to be certain your RCD will trip when it’s needed most. In busy commercial environments with high electrical demand, faults can develop quietly over time, often due to ageing circuits, faulty appliances or general wear and tear on equipment. Routine inspections and testing help detect these issues early, keeping your switchboard operating safely and efficiently.
This is more than just a legal obligation. It’s a proactive measure to protect your workplace, reduce risk, avoid liability and uphold your duty of care under workplace safety laws.
WHAT WE DO
What’s Included With RCD Inspection & Testing Services?
Our commercial RCD inspection services are designed to meet both legislative requirements and the practical needs of your business. Whether you’re maintaining compliance or prioritising staff safety, we make the process straightforward and stress-free.
Here’s what’s typically involved in our process:
-
1. Operating Time Test
This test checks how long it takes your safety switch to respond to a fault. We measure the delay between simulated fault detection and the RCD’s trip to ensure it meets regulated response times.
-
2. Trip Time Test
A key part of RCD testing, this verifies the accuracy of the trip mechanism. Our electricians use calibrated instruments to measure the precise trip duration and assess whether the device will perform reliably in real-world conditions.
-
3. Push-button Test
This basic but essential test ensures the RCD trips when the built-in test button is pressed. It simulates an earth leakage fault, and a successful trip confirms that the mechanism is operational.
-
4. Tagging & Compliance Documentation
After testing, each RCD is tagged with the date and outcome, and records are completed to meet AS/NZS 3760 and occupational health and safety regulations. These records help your business stay audit-ready.
-
5. Fault Identification & Reporting
If any issues are found – such as a delayed trip time or failure to operate – we’ll identify the fault and provide a clear explanation of the risks and next steps required.
-
6. Follow-up Testing & Scheduling
For businesses needing routine inspections, we offer scheduled testing plans and reminders, so you never fall behind on compliance or safety obligations.

Frequently Asked…
Questions? No problem! Here are the most commonly asked questions we receive about commercial RCD testing across Melbourne. If you still have questions or would like to speak to us, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
-
Safety switches in commercial settings must be tested at least every 6 months. This includes a simple push-button test to make sure the device trips as expected. In addition, licensed electricians must carry out instrument testing — which measures trip time and responsiveness — every 12 months. Staying on top of both helps ensure your RCDs are working properly and keeps you compliant with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760. If you're unsure where your business sits in the cycle, we’re happy to review your records and get you back on track.
-
Yes, it is. Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) regulations require businesses to routinely test their safety switches and maintain up-to-date records. This is a key part of your duty of care to staff and customers. Failure to comply can lead to fines or serious liability if an incident occurs. Our service ensures that your RCDs are properly tested, tagged and documented — so you’re protected from both electrical hazards and regulatory risks.
-
If your safety switch fails to operate correctly during testing, our licensed electrician will explain the issue clearly and outline your options. In most cases, this might involve replacing the faulty unit or investigating further electrical faults in the system. We can provide a quote for the necessary repair or upgrade work, and prioritise urgent fixes to minimise safety risks and keep your business running smoothly.
-
Absolutely. We understand that downtime can affect productivity, so we offer flexible booking options including early mornings, evenings and weekends. Our team will work with you to find a time that fits your schedule and keeps disruption to your staff and customers to a minimum.
-
Yes, brief power interruptions are required to carry out proper RCD testing. However, each RCD typically takes around five minutes or less to test, and we’ll work with you to schedule the process at a time that causes minimal disruption. For businesses with critical systems or sensitive equipment, we can stagger the testing across different circuits to avoid a full power shutdown and keep your operations running smoothly.
