# Test report (https://dev.tradieforms.com.au/docs/form-guides/electrical/nsw/nsw-ccew/test-report)

Record the tests you **actually did** on site. Tick a test only if you performed it with the right equipment and the standards that apply to your work.

> **Warning**
>
> The Tradie Forms CCEW is retired and direct eCert lodgement is not supported. Use these labels only to understand an existing draft, then complete the current CCEW in the BCNSW portal.

## Test date and timing [#test-date-and-timing]

The test date should reflect when safety tests were actually performed:

### Select test date [#select-test-date]

Use the calendar picker or quick buttons ("Yesterday", "Today") to set the test date.

### Timing considerations [#timing-considerations]

Complete testing before certifying the installation so the report matches the final condition of the job.

> **Note**
>
> Treat testing as the final step before energisation so you capture the installation's true condition.

The draft does not accept a future test date. Pick the actual date the tests were completed, not the eCert submission date unless they coincide.

> **Note**
>
> The person who performed the tests must submit the CCEW as soon as possible and no later than **seven days** after completing them.

## Safety tests [#safety-tests]

Use "Check All" only when every listed test applies and was completed. Otherwise, choose the individual tests that match the job.

### Electrical safety tests [#electrical-safety-tests]

- **Earthing system integrity** - Records earthing continuity and connection checks.
- **Residual current device operational** - Records RCD or safety switch operation checks.

### Installation verification tests [#installation-verification-tests]

- **Insulation resistance (MΩ)** - Records conductor insulation resistance readings. Use the threshold that applies to the job and standard.
- **Visual check suitability of installation** - Records the visual inspection of equipment, environment, wiring, and visible defects.
- **Polarity verification** - Records active, neutral, and earth connection checks.

### Specialised system tests [#specialised-system-tests]

- **Stand-alone system compliance** - Records checks for off-grid or isolated power systems where they apply.
- **Connection integrity** - Records connection and termination checks.
- **Fault loop impedance** - Records fault loop impedance readings where this test applies.

> **Note**
>
> Test using calibrated equipment and the standards that apply to the installation.

> **Note**
>
> Record values from your test instruments, not rounded guesses. Regulators and customers may compare readings to site reports.
