NationalElectrical

Tradie Forms

Record safety switch push-button and trip time tests on site. Capture each RCD, result, and failed-item action, then download a signed PDF aligned with AS/NZS 3760.

Open this form

The RCD test record records push-button and trip time testing of residual current devices, aligned with AS/NZS 3760. Add each RCD as you test it, record the result, and download a signed PDF for the client and your records.

This is a Tradie Forms designed record, not a government form. There is no official layout to match, so the PDF is a clean register that grows extra pages as you add RCDs.

Open the RCD Test Record when the site and tester details are ready.

Testing frequencies and acceptable results depend on the RCD, test method, workplace, jurisdiction, and applicable standard. The form records your result. It does not decide whether an RCD passes.

Before you start

  • Have your licence or competency details handy if you record them on test records.
  • Know the client and site the record covers.
  • Note the RCD tester you are using (make, model, serial).
  • Confirm the testing basis and retest interval that apply to the environment.

Business

Your business and tester details. These fill the record header.

  • Business Logo - optional. Upload your logo and it shows top right on the downloaded record.

Required fields

Business Name and Tester Name are required before download.

Saved details

Save your business details on Solo or Team so every new record starts filled in.

  • Business Name and ABN - your trading details.
  • Tester Name - the person who did the testing.
  • Licence or Competency No. - optional; include it when the client or site requires it.
  • Phone - contact number for follow-up or retest bookings.

Site

Who and where the record covers.

  • Client Name - the business or person you tested for.
  • Job Reference - optional job, work order, or site reference.
  • Site Address - search the address and the suburb, state, and postcode fill automatically.

Testing

  • Test Equipment - make, model, and serial of the RCD tester used.
  • Tester Verification Date - optional last calibration or verification date.
  • Testing Basis - the standard or site procedure used for the work.
  • Default Retest Interval - suggests the next-due date for new register items. Push-button tests are often more frequent than trip time tests.
  • Record Date - the date this record covers. Tap Today on site.

Choose the interval that applies to this test and site. Treat the suggested next-due date as a helper and check it before download.

Declaration

Sign off the record before download.

  • Notes - anything the client should know, like RCDs replaced on site.
  • Name and Date - who is signing and when.
  • Signature - sign on screen, or drop in your saved signature.

Register

One card per RCD. New rows can carry the previous location and test date, and the default retest interval suggests the next-due date.

  • RCD ID / Circuit and Location - required. Use a label that lets the next person find the same device.
  • Description - optional detail about what the RCD protects.
  • Result, Test Date, and Next Due - passed items need a next-due date.
  • RCD details - type, rating in mA, and push-button result are required. Enter the measured trip time in ms when a trip-time test was carried out. Leave it blank for a push-button-only check, or enter >300 if that is the instrument result you need to record.
  • Failed items - select the action taken and add the failure details.

Use Duplicate for similar RCDs. It copies the description, type, rating, and location. It clears the RCD ID, result, test readings, dates, actions, and notes.

Check the trip-time limit that applies to the RCD, test current, installation, and testing basis. Record the measured time, then assess it against the current standard and site requirements.

The PDF shows each RCD as a stacked record instead of a wide table. Long registers continue across pages with one consistent footer and page count.

Before download

  • Confirm the record identifies the site, tester, test equipment, and testing basis.
  • Check every RCD has an ID or circuit, location, type, rating, push-button result, overall result, and test date.
  • Check the trip-time field matches the test actually carried out.
  • Add a next-due date to every pass.
  • Add an action and failure details to every fail.
  • Sign the declaration and review the PDF.

After download

Give a copy to the client or site manager and keep one with the job records. Check AS/NZS 3760:2022, the site procedure, and your state or territory regulator for the requirements that apply.
