What if I have new items?

When a new electrical appliance is purchased a staff member can apply a "New to Service" (NTS) tag, supplied by OzTag. 

NTS tags are simply the best way to confirm the status of new appliances or leads at a site as "newly" installed. The benefit of asset owners attaching an NTS tag to new items at the time of introduction are: 

§       Users can be assured that the "new" status of an installed item is guaranteed and cannot be confused with an untagged item. 

§       The individual responsible for testing and tagging items at the site would be certain that the item is new to service and was not omitted from a previous round of tests. 

§       The individual responsible for testing and tagging items has all newly introduced items conveniently  tagged with an appliance number and appliance number bar code, which speeds up the test procedure.
