Testing record fields
Field list for Australian electrical testing records used beside RCD, fault-loop and verification worksheets.
Test record fields electricians need to capture
Show test-record fields without replacing inspection, testing or licensed verification requirements.
| Field | Purpose | Typical source | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circuit or device reference | Identifies the tested item. | Board schedule or device label | Do not reuse a result across different circuits. |
| Instrument reading | Captures the measured value used in a worksheet. | Test instrument | Record instrument context and range. |
| Test condition | Shows multiplier, voltage or loading context. | Test record | A result without condition is not repeatable. |
| Entered criterion | Makes calculator comparison transparent. | Reviewer or governing source | This table does not set universal pass criteria. |
| Reviewer/date | Keeps the record traceable. | Project record | Public calculator output is not formal certification. |
- This table supports record structure only.
- Testing procedures and acceptance criteria remain governed by current standards, instruments and competent review.
Before test results are interpreted
Capture the measurement, instrument and circuit context so verification records can be checked before anyone relies on the result.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Show test-record fields without replacing inspection, testing or licensed verification requirements. |
| How to use the source | Field table only; calculation logic lives on the RCD and fault-loop calculators. |
| Standards and project context | AS/NZS 3017 and AS/NZS 3000 context noted for project review. |
| Where judgement is still needed | Use this table for lookup, labelling or worksheet context; do not treat it as a project-specific calculation result. |
| Before relying on it | Confirm current standards, local authority requirements, DNSP conditions, project documents and manufacturer data before relying on a decision. |
Standards basis for testing records
Review the standards context, checked date and Australian verification scope before using the record fields.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | AUWiring RCD and fault-loop calculator fields plus AS/NZS 3017 verification context. |
| Source type | AUWiring field model with standards context |
| Derivation basis | AUWiring test-record field table; no controlled test procedure text is reproduced. |
| Last checked | 2026-07-13 |
| Review interval | Annual or when testing calculator fields, verification context or instrument-record practice changes. |
| Review trigger | Calculator field change, standards update, authority context change or project feedback. |
| Version used | R19-2026-07-13 |
| Australian application | Australia; licensed testing, project documents, instrument instructions and authority requirements govern formal records. |
