It is mandatory for electrical contractors to provide their customers with either a 'certificate of testing and safety' for work on electrical equipment, or a 'certificate of testing and compliance' for any electrical installation work. Simpro Premium users can send the Electrical Test Certificate form to their customers in compliance with the Queensland safety regulations.
Note that currently Simpro Premium supports the electrical test forms as required by the Queensland safety regulations only.
