Help for electricians completing a switchboard condition report in Tradie Forms.

Tradie Forms
Record a switchboard visual assessment, attach photos to defects, and give the client clear upgrade recommendations in a signed PDF.
Open this formThe Switchboard Condition Report records a visual assessment of an existing switchboard, the defects observed, and the work you recommend to the client.
This is a Tradie Forms designed visual assessment. It is not an AS/NZS 3019 periodic verification report, a compliance certificate, or certification of the whole installation.
Open the Switchboard Condition Report when the client, site, and board are ready.
Business and electrician names, client, inspection date, board location, all ten checks, assessment, recommendations when triggered, and signed declaration.
Defect rows are optional. If you add one, complete its description, location, risk and any recommendation required by the risk rating.
Add the business and electrician details that appear at the top of the report.
Save the business section on Solo or Team to prefill it next time.
Enter the Board Location so the client and the next electrician can identify the board. Add the board label, estimated age, main switch rating, supply type, and RCD coverage where known.
The age is an estimate. Choose Unknown if the board age cannot be reasonably identified.
Answer all 10 visual checks with OK, Attention, or Defect.
The checklist records visible conditions only. Complete any testing and verification required for the actual work separately.
Add one row for each defect observed.
A clean board can have no defect rows. Make sure every checklist item marked Defect has a matching row before download.
Choose the Overall Condition and whether an Upgrade is Recommended.
Add the recommended work when the board is Poor or Unsafe, or when you recommend an upgrade. Keep the scope concrete, such as replacing recalled breakers or upgrading to full RCD protection.
Add your Name, Date, and Signature. The declaration confirms that the report records visible conditions at the time of inspection. Concealed conditions are excluded.
Give the signed report to the client and keep a copy with the job and any quote. Use the relevant compliance certificate, defect-notification process, and test records where the work requires them. Use AS/NZS 3019:2022 when a periodic assessment is required.
