Calculating Your Test & Tag Costs
There’s no set price for test and tag services. The cost can depend on several factors related to your business type, equipment, and compliance needs. Here are some of the key questions to consider when calculating the cost of our test and tag services:
How many pieces of equipment need to be tested?
Pricing can really vary depending on the number of items that require testing. The more equipment and appliances you need checked, the higher the overall cost can be.
What types of equipment require testing?
Different types of equipment require testing, and the complexity can vary depending on the condition of the equipment and the testing requirements. More high risk equipment typically involves more detailed and time consuming testing, which can lead to increased costs.
Is your workplace easily accessible for testing and inspections?
Accessibility can significantly impact the testing process. Areas and equipment that are easy to access typically allow for quicker and more straightforward testing. However, if inspections involve restricted areas, confined spaces, travel between various locations, or adherence to specific protocols, the process may become more complex and time-consuming, potentially leading to higher total costs.
How often is testing required?
Different industries have different testing requirements. High-risk environments like construction or industrial sites will need testing more frequently, while low-risk settings like offices typically require testing less often. More frequent service requirements can lead to higher long-term costs.
Do you need any additional services?
We provide more than just standard test and tag services. Our offerings also include emergency/exit lighting checks, fire extinguisher testing, PAT testing, safety switch testing, first aid kits, and more. Depending on your needs, these additional services can be included in your appointment, which may affect the total cost.
Do you require urgent or after-hours test and tag services?
We can provide urgent or after-hours services if essential. Contact us to find out more information and please note that additional charges can also apply for this.
Will you need a detailed compliance report?
If you need detailed documentation, digital records, or integration with your compliance systems, we can include that as part of your service. The level of detail required or requested for your report may result in added costs.
Test and Tag Cost Calculation
To help you understand how pricing works, here’s a simple way to estimate the cost of your test and tag service. While final pricing can vary depending on location, equipment type, and extra services, this quick formula gives you a rough guide:
Estimated Cost = (Number of items × $ per item)
- Extras (e.g. fire checks, exit lighting)
- Access or travel fees (if applicable)
- After-hours or urgent service fees (if needed)**
This approach keeps things simple, but your final quote may change depending on your specific requirements. For a tailored estimate, reach out to your local Jim’s Test & Tag team.
