# Test report (/docs/form-guides/electrical/nsw/nsw-ccew/test-report)



Record the tests you **actually did** on site. Tick a test only if you performed it with the right equipment and the standards that apply to your work.

<Callout type="warn" className="docs-callout-warn my-4">
  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.
</Callout>

## Test date and timing [#test-date-and-timing]

The test date should reflect when safety tests were actually performed:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Select test date [#select-test-date]

    Use the calendar picker or quick buttons ("Yesterday", "Today") to set the test date.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Timing considerations [#timing-considerations]

    Complete testing before certifying the installation so the report matches the final condition of the job.

    <Callout type="idea" className="docs-callout-info my-4">
      Plan testing as the final step before energisation to capture the installation's true condition.
    </Callout>
  </Step>
</Steps>

The draft does not accept a future test date. Pick the actual date the tests were completed, not the eCert submission date unless they coincide.

<Callout type="info" className="docs-callout-info my-4">
  The person who performed the tests must submit the CCEW as soon as possible and no later than **seven days** after completing them.
</Callout>

## Safety tests [#safety-tests]

Use "Check All" only when every listed test applies and was completed. Otherwise, choose the individual tests that match the job.
