What will an accreditation surveyor ask about body-protected areas?

Evidence, mostly on paper. Australian surveyors work from the general practice and day procedure standards, which require safe, maintained premises and equipment; New Zealand’s RNZCGP Foundation Standard names AS/NZS 3003 directly. Either way, expect to be asked for the classification record, the certificate from when each room was wired or last altered, the Statement of Conformity, and the routine test report, with a label on the sign that is less than 12 months old.

New Zealand spells the evidence out: for a new area, the Certificate of Compliance and the inspection report; for an existing area, the annual Record of Inspection from a registered electrical inspector, the practice’s 6-monthly RCD test records and the sign showing the latest inspection; for a practice still transitioning, those 6-monthly records and a transition plan approved by its leadership. Australian surveyors work from broader wording, so the same set of documents is the sensible answer.

Insurers and landlords ask for the same things after an incident. Keep one folder, paper or digital, with the classification record on top, and update it every time a room is tested or changed.
