Tagging and testing regulations have changed a lot since they were first introduced. These days, most appliances don't need to be tested and tagged every year unless they're in a "hostile environment". Ordinary electrical equipment which isn't in a "hostile environment" is tested every 5 years. Unfortunately there are a few test-and-tag companies who don't let their customers know that, and happily go on collecting your money every year for testing that's not necessary. A reputable company will tell you what does and doesn't need testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
