even being a new lead likely wouldn't count, there's no test tag on them when you buy them

Buy the test tag while you're in Bunnings.... ;D ;D

Qld is 3 monthly, but I think NSW went monthly in construction didn't they?

Not that I'm aware of, sounds a bit of a stretch but I don't work in that industry.

Rummy is correct. Most of Aus is 3months whilst NSW is every month, extension leads included.

I think your being a bit ambitious Geoff.

Anyway, there have been batches of Extension leads sent back because they didn't comply.
Brand new just out of the packet, the fault occuring during manufacture.  Guess where?

From what I read , every state uses the same set of standards. But extract from NSW safe work site : The frequency of inspection and testing will vary depending on the nature of the workplace and the risks associated with the electrical equipment. The AS/NZS 3760: 2010 - In service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment, outlines inspection, testing, tagging methods and frequency.

Details of the required frequency for inspection and testing on construction sites are set out in Australian standard AS/NZS 3012: 2010 Electrical installations - Construction and demolition sites.
