A document the fire marshal accepts, the insurer recognises and the utility files. Every statement has a reading, a photo and a standard behind it — and every non-conformity arrives with the fix path and an estimated cost.
Before quoting I ask one thing: who will read the report? The scope follows the requirement of the receiving body, not a generic template.
Overall compliance assessment against NBR 5410: boards, circuits, protection, conductors, sockets and earthing. Basis for AVCB, occupancy permit, financing and commercial leasing.
Verification of air terminals, down conductors, earth electrode system, bonding and continuity per NBR 5419, with field measurement of earth resistance.
Hot-spot detection in boards, busbars, connections and motors under real load, with thermal image, temperature and criticality grading.
Demand, power factor, time-of-use profile and power quality readings to support the savings plan or an investment case.
Documents the state of the installation for an insurance policy, probate, property purchase or construction credit release.
Investigation of burn-out, short circuit or smouldering fire: probable sequence, technical cause and what must change to prevent a repeat.
A report without testing is an opinion. That is why the method starts with an instrument in hand.
Alignment on the receiving body, existing paperwork and survey date. I send the list of what you need to gather.
1 dayVisual inspection, continuity and insulation resistance measurement, RCD verification, current and voltage per circuit, thermography of critical points.
1 day on siteComparison with the standard, risk grading (critical, high, medium, low) and cost estimate per corrective item.
2 to 3 daysSigned report, ART filed with the council and files ready for submission — digital and printed if you need it.
1 dayClarification for the electrician doing the repairs and a free re-test of corrected items within 30 days.
includedA report standard accepted by fire brigades, insurers and technical audits.
It is not an automatic certificate nor a permanent safety warranty: it attests the conditions found on the survey date. Items fixed after issue may need re-verification — which is why the correction plan comes with it.
| Document | What it demands | Corresponding test |
|---|---|---|
| NBR 5410 | Safe and correctly sized low voltage installation | Visual inspection, protective conductor continuity, insulation resistance, RCD trip test |
| NBR 5419 | Lightning protection system | Down-conductor continuity, earth resistance, bonding |
| NBR 14039 | Medium voltage installations | Switchgear inspection, clearances, switching and earthing |
| NR-10 | Worker safety in electrical installations | Installation documentation, de-energisation, signage |
| Fire brigade IT | AVCB/CLCB renewal | Report with ART, thermography and closed non-conformities |
| Utility requirements | Service entrance and metering | Enclosure, recloser, CT/PT and delivery point check |
Insulation resistance and continuity tests are performed de-energised and locked out, following the NR-10 safety procedure.
Free re-test within 30 days
Delivering the PDF is half the job. The other half is making sure the non-conformity list fits the maintenance budget and calendar — prioritised by risk, not by page order.

Learn moreA report accepted by a public body has four elements that cannot be missing: identification of the qualified technical lead with an ART tied to the object, explicit reference to the standards applied, record of measured values with the instruments used, and a clear conclusion. Reports that merely state the installation "complies" — without a test schedule — are usually returned during review.
The second most common cause of rejection is a mismatch between the ART object and the requirement of the receiving body. An installation report does not replace a lightning protection report, and a design opinion is not a condition report. That is why I always start by asking which document must be filed and where.
