    CCEW Explained

    What is a CCEW?

    A CCEW is a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. In NSW, a licensed electrician issues one after completing certain electrical work, confirming the work has been tested and complies with the relevant standards. The property owner receives a copy, and it is also lodged with the relevant authority.

    If you have had electrical work done in NSW, you may have received a CCEW. It is an important record of what was done to your property.

    This page explains what it is, when it is issued and why it is worth keeping.

    CCEWs are required for a range of electrical installation work, such as new circuits, switchboard work and rewiring. Not every minor job requires one.
