Stay Safe, Stay Compliant

RCD and Compliance Testing in Canberra

When it comes to electricity, safety is not optional. Residual Current Devices (RCDs), also called safety switches, are designed to cut power instantly if there is a fault. That quick reaction protects people from electric shock and prevents serious accidents.


I offer complete RCD and compliance testing for homes, rental properties, and businesses in Canberra. My goal is simple: to make sure your safety switches actually work when you need them most.

Why RCD Testing Matters

  • Every property needs it: By law, all homes and workplaces in Australia must have working RCDs.
  • They can fail over time: Safety switches wear out just like any other device. Regular testing ensures they still trip properly.
  • It protects lives: A working RCD can mean the difference between a close call and a tragedy.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should RCDs be tested?

    Homes should be checked at least every two years. Workplaces may require annual or even more frequent testing depending on regulations.

  • Can I test my RCDs myself?

    You can press the “test” button for a quick check, but that is not a full compliance test. Only a licensed electrician can perform proper testing.

  • What happens if my RCD fails the test?

    I will recommend a safe, compliant replacement so your system is protected.

  • Do you provide documentation?

    Yes. Every test comes with a clear report, which is especially useful for landlords and business compliance.
