Is this the right Switchboard Report?

Switchboard Report at a glance

A switchboard condition report records a visual assessment of the board, defects observed, and recommended work. It gives the client a clear job record and upgrade scope.

  • This is a Tradie Forms designed visual assessment, not a regulator form.
  • It records visible conditions only. Concealed conditions are excluded.

What you need to know

Who has to complete the Switchboard Report?
Licensed electricians and electrical contractors inspecting an existing switchboard for maintenance, repair, or upgrade work.
When is it required?
Use it when you need a customer-facing visual condition record. It is not a periodic verification report or compliance certificate.
Where does the completed form go?
Give the signed report to the client and keep a copy with the job, quote, and any follow-up work.
Can I fill it on my phone?
Yes. Tradie Forms guides you through each section on mobile and exports the official PDF layout when you are ready to complete.
Will this PDF be accepted?
Tradie Forms exports onto the official PDF layout where supported. Always preview and check the completed PDF before sending, lodging, or handing it over. Tradie Forms does not lodge or certify the form for you.

Good upgrade advice gets lost without a proper report

Show the client what you found, where it is, and what work you recommend.

  • Photos stuck in the camera roll

    Attach each photo to the defect it proves so the client can follow the report without chasing separate messages.

  • Verbal advice that goes nowhere

    Write down the board condition and recommended upgrade while the details are fresh.

  • No record when work is declined

    Keep a signed report showing the visible condition and advice given at the inspection.
