Installation

Installation fields in an existing draft from the retired Tradie Forms NSW CCEW

Where the work was done, what you did, and which network operator covers the site.

The Tradie Forms CCEW is retired and direct eCert lodgement is not supported. Use these labels only to understand an existing draft, then complete the current CCEW in the BCNSW portal.

Installation address

Required fields

Either Street Number or Lot/RMB, Street Name, Suburb, State, and Post Code are required.

Optional fields

Property Name, Floor, Unit, and Nearest Cross Street are optional.

The network uses this address to find the connection. Double-check suburb and postcode.

Same as customer address

If the installation address matches the customer's address, use the "Same as customer address" checkbox to automatically copy the details.

For residential installations, the installation and customer addresses are typically identical. Using the copy function saves time and reduces errors.

Installation address fields

  • Floor: Enter the floor number if the address is in a multi-storey building (e.g. "Level 2"). Leave blank if not applicable.
  • Unit/Apartment: Enter the unit, apartment, or flat number if the property is part of a larger complex (e.g. "Unit 5", "Apt 12B"). Leave blank for standalone houses or properties without a unit number.
  • Lot / RMB: Enter the lot number (for new developments or rural land without a formal street number) or the RMB (Roadside Mailbox) number if used in rural areas.
  • Street Number: Enter the street number of the property (e.g. "24"). For properties with multiple numbers, use formats such as "24-26" or "24A".
  • Street Name: Enter the full name of the street (e.g. "George Street"). Do not abbreviate the street type here (e.g. don't use "St", use "Street").
  • Nearest Cross Street: Enter the name of the nearest cross street. This helps confirm the location, especially in rural areas or where street numbering is unclear.
  • Suburb: Enter the suburb or locality of the property (e.g. "Parramatta").
  • State: Select the Australian state or territory for the address. For NSW forms, this will usually be NSW, but the field allows for others if needed (e.g. ACT, VIC).
  • Post Code: Enter the 4-digit Australian postcode for the property (e.g. "2150"). Double-check this matches the suburb for accuracy.

Network connection details

These details help network operators locate and manage the electrical connection:

Connection point identification

  • Pit/Pillar/Pole No.: Reference number for the connection infrastructure
  • NMI: National Metering Identifier (10-11 digits from electricity bill)
  • Meter No.: Physical meter identification number

The NMI is found on the customer's electricity bill and uniquely identifies the connection point.

Metering information

  • AEMO Metering Provider ID: Recommended for advanced metering installations

Installation classification and scope

Installation type

Select the applicable installation type as different AS/NZS 3000 requirements may apply.

  • Residential: Domestic dwellings, units, townhouses
  • Commercial: Offices, retail spaces, restaurants
  • Industrial: Factories, warehouses, manufacturing facilities
  • Rural: Farm properties, remote installations
  • Mixed Development: Properties with multiple use types

Choose the installation type that matches the job file and site. If unsure, check your project documents before submitting in eCert.

Work carried out

Select all applicable work types to accurately describe the electrical work performed:

New installations

  • New Installation: Complete new electrical systems
  • Network Connection: New supply connections
  • EV Connection: Electric vehicle charging installations

Existing systems

  • Alteration / Existing: Modifications to existing installations
  • Re-Inspection of NC: Follow-up inspections for non-compliance

Metering work

  • Installed Meter: Standard meter installations
  • Install Advanced Meter: Smart meter installations

Re-Inspection of NC: When selected, provide the original Non-Compliance Number for tracking.

Special conditions

Identify any special conditions that require additional safety measures or specific compliance standards:

  • Over 100 Amps: High-current installations requiring enhanced safety measures
  • High Voltage: Installations above standard voltage levels
  • Unmetered Supply: Direct supply arrangements without standard metering
  • Hazardous Area: Explosive atmospheres, chemical environments, or dangerous goods storage
  • Off Grid Installation: Remote or standalone power systems
  • Secondary Power Supply: Backup or alternative power arrangements

Special conditions may affect inspection, testing, and supporting document requirements. Check the rules that apply to the job.

Network service provider

Provider selection

Automatic suggestion

Based on the installation postcode, the form suggests the appropriate distributor:

  • Ausgrid: Central Coast, Sydney, Hunter regions
  • Endeavour Energy: Greater Western Sydney, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands
  • Essential Energy: Regional and rural NSW

Verify and confirm

Confirm the suggested provider matches the actual electricity distributor for the specific address.

Check the customer's electricity bill to verify the correct distributor if uncertain.

Contact details

Provider Email is a legacy draft field. Do not use it as the current submission method. Check the distributor and required parties in eCert.

The postcode suggestion is only a starting point. Confirm the actual distributor from the job record or electricity bill before submitting in eCert.

Equipment section

Load changes and equipment installed.
