This page explains how to make your legal declaration of compliance and understand the importance of the CCEW serial number and certification statement. This is the most critical part of the CCEW, as it carries your personal and professional responsibility.

​
CCEW serial number management

Every CCEW requires a unique serial number for regulatory traceability and professional accountability. Proper serial number management is essential for compliance and record-keeping.

​
Serial number format and rules

1

Follow the required format

Format: [YourLicenceNumber][SequentialNumber] Example: Licence 444444C → First CCEW: 444444C001, Second: 444444C002
The sequential number should be zero-padded to three digits (001, 002, etc.)
2

Use the automated helper

The platform includes a serial number helper that suggests your next sequential number based on previous CCEWs, reducing errors and maintaining continuity.
3

Verify before issuing

Always double-check the serial number before final submission to avoid duplicates or sequence gaps.
Keep a personal log of all CCEW serial numbers issued as a backup reference for your professional records.

​
Serial number best practices

  • Maintain sequence: Never skip numbers or create duplicates
  • Keep records: Document every serial number issued with job details
  • Regular review: Periodically audit your serial number sequence for gaps
  • Backup system: Maintain offline records independent of digital systems
The certification checkbox represents your professional guarantee of compliance and accuracy. This declaration carries significant legal weight and professional responsibility.
