At Mixim Safety & Compliance, we help businesses meet their electrical safety obligations with reliable RCD (Residual Current Device) Testing across Melbourne.
An RCD, also known as a safety switch, is a life-saving device designed to cut power in the event of an electrical fault. It protects against electrocution, electric shock, and electrical fires by disconnecting the power within milliseconds.
Why RCD Testing is Essential
RCDs play a critical role in workplace safety, but like all electrical devices, they must be tested regularly to ensure they’re working correctly. Under AS/NZS 3760 and AS/NZS 3012, employers and business owners are legally required to conduct regular RCD testing in the workplace.
Without routine testing, your RCD may appear to work, but may fail when it’s needed most.
What’s Involved in RCD Testing?
When you book RCD Testing with Mixim Safety & Compliance, we’ll:

- Tag and record the test results, including a retest date
- Provide a detailed compliance report for your records
We test:
- Switchboard-mounted RCDs
- Power points with integrated RCDs
