Smoke Alarm Service Record
Help for electricians completing a smoke alarm service record in Tradie Forms.
The smoke alarm service record records inspection, testing, and replacement of smoke alarms at a property. Add each alarm as you test it, record the result, and download a signed PDF for the agent, landlord, or owner.
This is a Tradie Forms designed record, not a government form. State rental rules differ, so record the legislation or standard you worked under.
Before you start
- Have your licence or competency details handy if you record them on service records.
- Know the property address and any agent or tenancy reference.
- Confirm the service type (annual, tenancy change, installation, or callout).
- Check the legislation or standard that applies to the property.
Business
Your business and technician 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 Technician 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.
- Technician Name - the person who did the service.
- Licence or Competency No. - optional; include it when the client or site requires it.
- Phone - contact number for follow-up.
Property
Where the service was done, and who the record is for.
- Property Address - search the address and the suburb, state, and postcode fill automatically.
- Agent or Client Name - often the property manager rather than the tenant.
- Agency - optional agency name.
- Tenancy Reference - optional job or tenancy file reference.
Service
- Service Type - annual service, tenancy change, new installation, fault callout, or other.
- Service Date - the date of this visit. Tap Today on site.
- Next Service Due - optional overall next service date for the property.
- Legislation or Standard - the rule set this service was performed under. AS 3786 covers the alarms themselves.
- Default Next Service Interval - suggests the next-due date for new alarm rows. Confirm it for each alarm.
Declaration
Sign off the record before download.

- Name and Date - who is signing and when.
- Signature - sign on screen, or drop in your saved signature.
Register
One card per alarm. New rows carry the previous test date only. Location is not carried forward because every alarm is in a different place.
- Alarm Location - required. For example hallway outside bedrooms.
- Make and Model - optional.
- Result, Test Date, and Next Due - passed alarms need a next-due date.
- Alarm details - type, power source, replace-by date, and interconnection.
- Failed alarms - select the action taken and add the failure details.
Use Duplicate for similar alarms. It copies the make and model, type, power source, replace-by date, and interconnection result. It clears the room, result, dates, actions, and notes.
Most alarms expire 10 years from manufacture. Record the replace-by date so expired units do not get left in place.
The PDF shows each alarm 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 agent, landlord, or owner and keep one for your records. Store it against the property or tenancy file. Check the state rules that apply to rentals and interconnection.
