Switchboard Risk Audit Checklist (Version 4.0)
Use this Switchboard Risk Audit v4.0 checklist to assess the condition and safety of electrical distribution boards. Record inspection details, capture photos, and verify cleanliness, installation, and compliant labelling. Check insulation and earthing integrity, RCD requirements and test results, and perform thermographic scans where needed. Log supply readings and phase balance, evaluate busbar and component condition, and review auxiliary equipment such as timers and emergency lighting test switches. Rate board condition and spare capacity, then sign off with technician details.

Electrical Switchboard Audit Checklist
This City of Boroondara switchboard audit template helps electricians and facility teams verify compliance with AS NZS 2067 and AS NZS 3000. It guides checks for safe access zones greater than 600 millimetres, correct labeling and isolation, earthing and circuit identification, RCD protection and testing history, and separation of safety services. It covers evidence of water damage, secure doors and panels, enclosure sealing, exposed live parts, dual feed labeling, correct glanding, and appropriate ratings. The template also assesses emergency and exit lighting around switchboards, housekeeping, and unobstructed egress. Final steps include noting tags, capturing photos, documenting issues, and sign off for action.
