Licensed plumbing contractors (LPCs) are required to maintain a record of all minor plumbing work they complete on or after 1 January 2020. This replaces the requirement to submit a certificate of compliance for minor plumbing work (known as a multi-entry certificate).

It is the responsibility of the LPC to maintain this record in a format approved by the Plumbers Licensing Board. The record must be retained for at least six years from the date the work is completed.

The Plumbers Licensing Board has developed a policy setting out the prescribed format for recording minor plumbing work. This includes the minimum information that must be recorded. Penalties may be applied if the correct procedures are not followed.

A fact sheet and optional template have also been developed to assist LPCs to comply with these requirements.
