Switchboard and RCD Test Record Template

A free test record for the switchboards you test: each board's details, result and compliance status, and a row for every circuit with its RCD type and rating, trip time, trip current, insulation and earth readings.

Its columns are named the way Deployr's Switchboard / RCD Register names them.

Free for Excel, and as a PDF to print. No sign-up, no email address.

What's on It

Each board you test, with a row per circuit for its RCD, trip time and current, insulation and earth readings.

The printed sheet, drawn smaller and with fewer rows.

How to Use It

  1. List Your Boards

    On the Boards sheet, give each board a row: its number, name and type, the site and location, the supply and how many RCDs are on it.

  2. Record Each Circuit

    On the Circuits sheet, add a row for every circuit tested, starting with its board's number. RCD Type and Result are picked from a list.

  3. Mark the Board

    Back on Boards, enter the test date, the board's result and compliance status, and the detail of anything non-compliant. If any circuit failed, record the board's result as Fail.

  4. Set the Next Test

    Enter each board's next test due, then sort or filter that column to see what's coming up.

  5. Print a Test Sheet

    The PDF is one board's test sheet: its details, a row for each circuit, the board's result and compliance status, and room for the detail of anything non-compliant.

Before You Start

Worth Knowing

  • It keeps records. Whether the testing meets the Standards and your regulator's rules is for you to check.
  • It sets no test intervals and no pass limits. The readings and results are whatever you record.
  • It isn't a certificate. Issue and lodge certificates the way you do now.

The Files

Doing This in Deployr

One failed circuit fails the board, a non-compliant board becomes a draft rectification quote in one step, and each board prints as a test sheet on your letterhead.

Every Board and Its Circuits in One List

The register lists each board with its type, location, number of circuits tested, test date and next test due, and counts what's overdue, due in the next 30 days and failed at its last test.

RCD Results in Reports

In Reports, Trade KPIs gives the RCD test pass rate, the circuit pass rate and the number of non-compliant boards for any date range.

Boards as Assets

A switchboard can be its own asset on the site, with the Electrical pack's fields: phases, main switch rating, fault level, earthing arrangement, number of circuits and RCD protection. Its register entry links to it.
