RCD Compliance Certificate

The Australian RCD Compliance Certificate documents the testing and compliance of Residual Current Devices (RCDs) installed in a property. Australian electrical safety legislation — particularly in states like Victoria and Queensland — mandates RCD protection for all final subcircuits in domestic premises and specified commercial installations. This certificate records the make, model, type, and rating of each RCD along with the trip time test result, confirming compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and the relevant state's RCD mandate.

AS/NZS 3000:2018 (Wiring Rules), state RCD mandate regulations (e.g. Electricity Safety (Installations) Regulations VIC, Electrical Safety Regulation QLD)Valid: Annual testing recommended

Frequently asked questions about RCD Certificate

Are RCDs mandatory in Australian homes?
RCD requirements vary by state. Victoria mandates RCD protection on all power and lighting circuits in new and substantially altered domestic premises. Queensland requires RCDs on power circuits. NSW and other states have their own requirements. All new domestic installations must meet AS/NZS 3000 which requires RCD protection on socket-outlet circuits.
How often should RCDs be tested in Australia?
Australian standards recommend that RCDs are push-button tested by the occupant every 3 months and formally tested by a licensed electrician annually. Many insurance policies and tenancy agreements now require evidence of annual RCD testing for rental properties.
What is the maximum acceptable RCD trip time in Australia?
AS/NZS 3000 requires Type I (30mA) RCDs to trip within 300ms at rated current and within 40ms at 5 times rated current. In practice, modern RCDs trip much faster — typically within 30ms. Any RCD that fails to meet these thresholds must be replaced immediately.
