Creating NZ Certificates — CoC, ESC, RoI & CoV

Click Create on your Dashboard to open the certificate wizard. The first step asks you to select a certificate type.

• Certificate of Compliance (CoC) & Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC)

  The standard combined certificate for prescribed electrical work. 7 steps covering work details, compliance, supply, safety, and testing. Most common choice. See EWRB CoC explained for what each section needs to contain per regulation 73.

• ESC only (stand-alone)

  Dedicated 3-step ESC wizard when no CoC is required — e.g. connection to the mains where the work was certified separately.

• Record of Inspection (RoI)

  For high-risk prescribed electrical work requiring independent inspection. Issued by a licensed Electrical Inspector (EI prefix).

• Certificate of Verification (CoV)

  For verifying existing installations, disconnected supplies, or connection to the network. Verification or Connection sub-types.

The wizard walks you through each section step by step. You can move forward, back, or jump to any step using the stepper at the top, or on a mobile device by swiping left or right.

Auto-save

Your work is automatically saved as a draft whenever you move between steps — forward, back, or jumping with the stepper. You can close the browser and come back later; your draft will be waiting on the Dashboard.

Navigating steps

• •Desktop: use the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom, or click any step number at the top.
• •Mobile: swipe left for next, swipe right for previous. You can also tap the stepper.

Tap-to-Speak

On Work Description fields, tap the microphone icon to use voice input — useful on mobile when you're on site. Your browser will ask for microphone permission the first time; allow it and you're set.

Certificate numbering

Certificate numbers are generated automatically when you issue the certificate — format YYMMDD-TYPE-00001. You don't need to enter one manually. Company employees share sequential numbering per company per day per type.

On the final Review & Sign step, you'll see a summary of all the details you've entered. Check everything carefully — once issued, certificates are locked.

• PDFs are generated server-side for the sharpest print quality (vector graphics, not raster screenshots)

• •The client's email (if saved) is pre-filled. You can add or remove recipients.

Share links

Editing drafts and deleting

• •Drafts appear on your Dashboard with a yellow "Draft" badge.
• •Click the edit icon to resume where you left off.
• •Click the trash icon to delete a draft you no longer need — a confirmation dialog will appear.
• •Issued certificates cannot be deleted or edited — this protects the audit trail. Certificates are retained for the 7-year period required by regulation 73.
