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



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

## 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 picker typically allows roughly **one year** before and after today. Pick the actual test date, not the certificate issue date unless they coincide.

## 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.
