Calibration and test & tag for Perth construction
Construction sites in Perth have to keep portable electrical equipment safe and tested every three months under AS/NZS 3760 — and the multimeters and clamp meters used to commission services need to be calibrated. AmpTech handles both: test & tag on your site, calibration in our Caversham lab.
Why measurement accuracy matters in construction
- WHS duty of care extends to every tool and instrument used on the project — calibration and tagging are the documented way to prove it.
- Test & tag intervals on construction sites are 3 months — easy to miss without scheduled reminders.
- Principal contractors increasingly ask subcontractors for asset registers showing every tool tested and every instrument calibrated.
Typical instruments we calibrate
- Multimeters and clamp meters (for service commissioning)
- Levels, dumpy levels and laser levels (verification only)
- Portable power tools, leads, RCDs (test & tag)
Common recall intervals
| Instrument | Interval | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Construction site portable equipment (test & tag) | 3 months | AS/NZS 3760 |
| Multimeters & clamp meters | 12 months | Manufacturer / ISO 9001 |
Standards & frameworks we work to
- AS/NZS 3760 — In-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment
- WHS Act and Regulations (Western Australia)
- AS/NZS 3012 — Construction site wiring
- Project- and principal-contractor-specific compliance requirements
How we cover construction clients across Perth
- CBD and inner-Perth commercial fit-out sites
- New estate civils and house frame programs across the metro
- Industrial build projects in Welshpool / Kewdale / Canning Vale
- After-hours and weekend test & tag windows on active sites
Working with procurement
We work directly with project supervisors and HSEQ teams to schedule 3-monthly site test & tag rounds, calibrate commissioning tools, and supply project asset registers in the format your principal contractor wants to see.
Instrument guides for construction
Sector-specific pages on the instruments construction teams send us most — why each one matters on your sites, the interval sector teams use, and what the certificate records.
Construction sector FAQs
How often do construction site tools need to be tested and tagged?
Can you test after hours so you do not interrupt work?
Do you supply an asset register the principal contractor will accept?
Can you calibrate our commissioning instruments too?
Do you handle RCD (safety switch) testing?
