The Legal Framework in South Australia
- Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA) — SA’s harmonised WHS legislation
- Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012 (SA) — including Regulation 150 for hostile environments
- Electrical Products Act 2000 (SA) — governing electrical product safety
- AS/NZS 3760:2022 — the national test and tag standard
- SafeWork SA — the state WHS regulator
What SA Businesses Must Do
The requirements in South Australia broadly follow the harmonised national framework. Test and tag, RCD testing, exit light testing and fire protection equipment all have the same obligations as the national standard. Hostile environments require mandatory testing; non-hostile environments require a documented risk assessment with annual testing as the standard approach.

| Test and Tag | Every 3–6 months | Every 12 months |
| RCD Testing | Every 3–6 months | Every 12 months |
