QLD Certificate of Testing and Compliance

Use this guide when you fill the QLD Certificate of Testing and Compliance (CoTC) in Tradie Forms. The web form follows the official WorkSafe Queensland template (V6.11-2023).

Before you start

• You need an electrical contractor licence for the work being certified.
• Choose the right certificate type for the job: installations use testing and compliance; equipment uses testing and safety.
• Have the customer name and address, what was tested, and your licence number ready.

In the app

Certification and Notice

The certification text matches your certificate type selection. You do not edit this wording in the app. It appears on the exported certificate.

Enter date notice given when you handed the certificate to the customer. This field is optional on the PDF but helps your records.

• Keep a copy for five years as required by WorkSafe Queensland.
• Tradie Forms does not lodge this certificate with a regulator portal. This form is for PDF handover and your records.
