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.

​
Serial number

You must apply a unique serial number to the CCEW. This is a regulatory requirement for traceability and record-keeping. The format must be your electrical licence number followed by a sequential number.
  • Format: [YourLicenceNumber][SequentialNumber]
  • Example: If your licence number is 444444C, your first CCEW will be 444444C001, your second will be 444444C002, and so on.
The app includes a serial number helper that will suggest the next serial number in your sequence based on your previous entries, helping you maintain correct sequencing.
Best Practice: Keep a separate log of all CCEW serial numbers you issue. This provides a personal backup and makes it easy to track your work over time.
Always double-check the serial number before issuing the CCEW to avoid duplication or gaps in your records.

By checking this box, you are making a legally binding statement. Providing false or misleading information on a CCEW can result in significant penalties, including fines and licence suspension. This declaration is your guarantee of a safe and compliant installation.
Certification is the final step to ensure your work is safe, compliant, and properly documented for all parties.
