RCD Testing
RCD testing involves the inspecton and testing of residual current devices (RCDs) to confirm they operate correctly and trip within required timeframes, ensuring effective protection against electric shock and electrical faults while maintaining compliance with Australian Standards and workplace safety obligations.
1
Site Review & Asset Identification
We start by reviewing your site and electrical systems to identify all RCDs in use, including switchboard and portable units. This includes assessing how each RCD protects circuits, equipment, and personnel, while considering environmental and operational factors that influence testing requirements and risk.
2
Functional & Trip-Time Testing
Each RCD is tested using calibrated equipment to confirm correct operation and trip times. Testing verifies that power is disconnected within required thresholds to protect against electric shock. Where required, both push-button and instrument testing are carried out, with any non-compliant RCD clearly identified and reported to prevent continued reliance on ineffective protection.
3
Reporting & Compliance Documentation
Following testing, we provide detailed records of all inspected items, including pass/fail results, identified defects, and corrective recommendations where required. All documentation is maintained in line with Australian Standards and WHS obligations, supporting audits, insurance requirements, and regulatory inspections.
4
Ongoing Compliance & Support
As part of our full-cycle compliance approach, we support ongoing electrical safety by managing retest intervals and integrating RCD testing into your broader compliance schedule. We work around your operations, including after-hours or low-disruption servicing where required, and provide ongoing guidance to ensure electrical safety remains effective and compliant.
