Test date and timing
The test date is mandatory and must reflect when safety tests were actually performed:1
Select test date
Use the calendar picker or quick buttons (“Yesterday”, “Today”) to set the test date.
2
Timing considerations
All tests should be completed before certifying the installation to ensure accurate reporting.
Plan testing as the final step before energisation to capture the installation’s true condition.
Mandatory safety tests
All applicable tests must be completed and documented. Use “Check All” to select all tests, or choose individual tests as required:Electrical safety tests
Earthing system integrity
Verifies main earthing conductor continuity and connections. Essential for
safety device operation during electrical faults.
Residual current device operational
Confirms RCDs and safety switches trip within required timeframes. Critical
for life-saving protection.
Installation verification tests
Insulation resistance (MΩ)
Measures conductor insulation quality. Minimum 1 MΩ required to prevent
current leakage and electrical shock hazards.
Visual check suitability of installation
Comprehensive visual inspection confirming correct equipment installation,
environmental compliance, AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules compliance, and no
visible damage or defects.
Polarity verification
Ensures correct active, neutral, and earth connections throughout the
installation. Prevents dangerous cross-connections.
Specialised system tests
Stand-alone system compliance
Verifies off-grid or isolated power systems comply with AS4509 standards for
safety and performance requirements.
Connection integrity
Verifies secure terminations in switchboards and equipment to prevent fire
hazards from loose connections.
Fault loop impedance
Measures fault current path impedance to confirm protective device
effectiveness. Required when necessary to ensure adequate fault current for
timely protection operation.
All tests must be performed according to AS/NZS 3000 and relevant Australian
Standards using calibrated test equipment.
