# Overview (/docs/form-guides/nsw/electrical/nsw-ccew)



The **NSW Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW)** records that electrical installation work meets applicable standards. The official PDF is published by **Building Commission NSW** (template version **2026.1**).

Fill the cert online with the [guided NSW CCEW form](/forms/nsw-ccew), browse [NSW electrical templates](/nsw/electrical), or read workflow articles in the [NSW CCEW resource hub](/resources/forms/nsw-ccew).
