Intro

What accessories do I need for test and tag?

The accessories you need depend on how many tests you’re doing and the environment you’re working in. At a minimum, you’ll need a PAT tester and labels or tags to record the test result on each appliance. For a fully auditable, compliant system, adding a label printer and software to your setup makes the process significantly faster and more professional.

The products on this page are curated for technicians doing in-house testing — covering labels, printers, adaptors for specialist equipment, and protective overlays for tough environments.
Do I need a label printer for test and tag?

Not necessarily — if you’re doing fewer than around 300 tests per year and are happy writing tags by hand, pre-printed custom labels are a practical and cost-effective option. Metrotest’s custom printed labels come with your company branding already on the tag, so all you need to do is fill in the test date and result.

For higher volumes, or anywhere a professional printed label is expected, a thermal label printer like the Godex RT200 paired with your PAT tester gives you a fast, consistent, and fully auditable output on every test.
What environments need extra accessories?

Standard test and tag accessories work well in most office and light commercial environments. However, certain workplaces require additional items. IT environments with lots of equipment running IEC cloverleaf (figure-8) power leads need a cloverleaf adaptor to test those appliances correctly. Engineering workshops and construction sites, where tags are exposed to grease, dust, and physical wear, need clear protective overlays placed over each tag to keep them legible for the duration of the test interval.

Looking at doing your own testing and tagging inhouse. You will need several extra accessories that go a long way. If you want a fully compliant auditable system, try a printer set up like the Godex RT200 paired with your tester.

FAQ

What is the Godex RT200 used for?

The Godex RT200 is a thermal label printer designed specifically for test and tag use. It connects to your PAT tester and prints a fully formatted compliance label on the spot — including the asset ID, test date, result, and retest due date. Because it uses thermal printing, there are no ink cartridges or ribbons to replace. It’s the recommended printer for anyone doing regular in-house testing who wants a clean, professional, and auditable result on every appliance.
What are custom printed labels and when should I use them?

Custom printed labels are pre-printed test and tag tags that include your company name and logo, with blank fields for you to hand-write the test date, result, and retest date. They’re a straightforward option for lower-volume testers — typically anyone doing under 300 tests per year — where the cost and setup of a thermal printer isn’t justified. Metrotest prints them to order, so the branding is yours.
What is an IEC cloverleaf adaptor?

An IEC cloverleaf adaptor (also called a figure-8 adaptor) allows you to connect appliances with a cloverleaf-style power inlet — common on computers, monitors, and IT equipment — directly to your PAT tester. Without it, you can’t properly test the earth continuity and insulation on those appliances. If you’re working in an IT environment or any office with a lot of computer equipment, a cloverleaf adaptor is an essential part of your kit.
What are clear overlays and when do I need them?

Clear overlays are a transparent protective film applied over a test and tag label after it’s been attached to an appliance. They protect the tag from grease, moisture, abrasion, and UV exposure — conditions common in engineering workshops, construction sites, and outdoor environments. Without an overlay, tags in these environments can become unreadable well before the retest date, which creates a compliance gap. Metrotest’s clear overlays come in a 500-roll and are compatible with standard test and tag label sizes.
Can I use my own branding on test and tag labels?

Yes — Metrotest’s custom printed labels are produced with your company name and logo on the tag. This is particularly useful for test and tag businesses or in-house maintenance teams that want their documentation to look professional and identifiable. You simply hand-write the test details in the blank fields provided. Contact the Metrotest team to discuss your label requirements and order quantities.
