Routine Test Certification Package Audit

Audit template for verifying that each shipped electrical unit includes a complete, signed routine test certificate with applicable standards references, calibration status, and supporting documentation. Used by quality teams to identify and close documentation gaps before release.

Audit Details

• Unit identifier recorded and matches shipping paperwork
  Record the unit serial number, model, job number, or other unique identifier and confirm it matches the packing list / shipping record.
• Audit date and inspector name completed
  Document when the audit was performed and by whom.
• Shipment status confirmed as ready for release review
  Confirm the package is being reviewed at the correct release stage.

Routine Test Certificate Completeness

• Routine test certificate present in the package
  A routine test certificate must be included with the shipment documentation.
• Certificate is signed and dated by authorized personnel
  Verify the certificate includes a legible signature or approved electronic sign-off and date.
• Certificate identifies the exact unit tested
  The certificate must reference the correct serial number, model, or asset identifier for the shipped unit.
• Test results are complete and legible
  All required test fields, values, and pass/fail outcomes are filled in and readable.

Standards and Traceability

• Applicable standards are referenced on the certificate
  Document the specific standards, codes, or customer specifications cited on the certificate (for example, applicable OSHA/NFPA or project-specific requirements where relevant).
• Referenced inspection checklist or test procedure is identified
  Record the procedure, checklist, or work instruction used to perform the routine test.
• Certificate traceable to test record or batch documentation
  The certificate should be traceable to the underlying test record, traveler, or batch file.
• Any deviations or concessions are documented and approved
  If any test step was waived, reworked, or accepted by concession, confirm the approval is documented.

Calibration and Test Equipment Status

• Test equipment calibration status is current
  Verify the instruments used for the routine test were within calibration at the time of testing.
• Calibration due date is recorded or traceable
  Record the calibration due date, certificate number, or asset tag for the primary test equipment.
• Calibration certificate or status record is available if requested
  Confirm supporting calibration documentation can be produced for audit review.
• Out-of-calibration equipment was not used for release testing
  Any equipment found out of calibration must not have been used to generate the certificate.

Package Completeness and Release Readiness

• All required documents are included in the ship package
  Select all documents present in the package.
• No unresolved documentation gaps remain
  Confirm there are no missing signatures, missing references, blank fields, or other open documentation deficiencies.
• Corrective action owner assigned for any deficiency
  If any non-conformance is identified, record the responsible owner or department for closure.
