QLD CoTC

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.
• Confirm the certificate completion and record-keeping requirements that apply to your work.

In the app
