Why Choose Jim’s Test & Tag?
Compliance
Beware of hand written tags. Our system ensures that equipment undertakes thorough testing before a tag is provided. We cannot provide a tag unless tests have been performed.
Training
Jim’s Test & Tag technicians are fully trained to provide the services we offer. Our training regime is over and above the requirements of the competent person and we will provide a testing program that will assist with your compliance obligations.
Integrity
We ensure the integrity in our results by testing the power point we plug our tester into. Most portable appliance testers will utilise the power point as a reference point; we ensure that this reference point is sound prior to any appliance testing
Reminder service
