Prepare a test record
Record an observation together with the conditions that make it interpretable: equipment identity, instrument, method, test settings, units, and acceptance basis. Use one record for a consistent test method and add rows for circuits or items.
Enter the method, conditions, units, and acceptance basis yourself. No result is automatically marked as passing.
Electrical test record
| Item / circuit | Acceptance criterion and source | Reading with unit | Assessment | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item 1 | Not assessed |
Assessments are entered by the author against the recorded criterion. This record is not a test certificate.

Project, instrument, method, conditions, readings, criteria, assessment, and remarks. No preset test voltage or pass threshold.
What to record by test
| Test / observation | Record with the reading | Interpretation boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Insulation resistance | Tested points, equipment exclusions, applied DC test voltage, duration, instrument range, temperature/condition, and reading in MΩ or GΩ | Use the equipment instructions and specified method; there is no universal pass threshold in this form. |
| Low-resistance / continuity | Endpoints, circuit state, test current or instrument mode, lead compensation, and reading with unit | A continuity indication alone does not establish an adequate fault-current path. |
| Earth / grounding electrode resistance | Method, electrode/system configuration, probe positions where applicable, site conditions, and reading with unit | Results from different measurement methods are not automatically comparable. |
| Voltage / phase observation | Measured points, AC/DC mode, instrument rating, nominal system description, and reading with unit | An energized measurement requires its own authorized work method and qualified personnel. |
| Visual inspection | Exact item/location, observed condition, photograph/document reference, and follow-up owner | Do not enter a numerical value where the observation is qualitative. |
The form records a method reference rather than inventing a test procedure. Never select an insulation test voltage or connection arrangement merely to fill a blank field.
Record an assessment
- State the acceptance criterion and cite the project specification, manufacturer instruction, or applicable test standard.
- Keep the original observed reading and its unit. Record conditions and out-of-range indications explicitly.
- Select an assessment only after comparing the reading with that criterion. “Not tested” and “Not assessed” remain different from a passing result.
- Export the filled CSV and print a controlled copy where needed. This page does not retain records after you leave.
For trend comparisons, retain consistent asset IDs, methods, settings, conditions, and dates. This generic record is not a certification form, a substitute for a required test report, or proof that equipment is safe to energize.
Use the job card to assign follow-up work and the terminal reference when documenting observed markings.
