RCD Test Record

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.

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.

• 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. Confirm it for each item.
• Record Date - the date this record covers. Tap Today on site.

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 - for example MSB RCD 2, circuits 5-8.
• Description and Location - what the RCD protects and where it is fitted.
• Result, Test Date, and Next Due - passed items need a next-due date.
• RCD details - type (fixed, socket, or portable), rating in mA, push-button result, and trip time in ms.
• 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.

After download

Give a copy to the client or site manager and keep one for your records. The record is your evidence of in-service testing, so store it against the job. Check AS/NZS 3760 for the retest intervals that apply to the environment.
