WR1.HK / PRACTICAL GUIDE

A residential example: WR1 field by field

All names, addresses, telephone numbers and technical values are fictional illustrations matching the six-page residential demo PDF. Start with Part 3, then review Parts 1 and 2. Customer details can carry into the tool; responsible personnel must verify registration and technical entries. No actual inspection or testing took place, so both inspection declarations remain unticked and all signatures and dates remain blank.

RESIDENTIAL / WORKED EXAMPLE

One home example, field by field

Fictional Kowloon home · One board · Four outgoing circuits

Fictional details · No inspection performed · Not an issued certificate
  • Owner: DEMO CHAN (fictional)
  • Installation: Flat A, 8/F, Example Building, 1 Example Road, Kowloon (fictional)
  • Illustrative supply: single phase, 220 V · largest switching device: 63 A

63 A, 220 V and the circuit and device values identify this sample PDF only. They are not design or equipment-selection recommendations for your home.

01

Responsible person · Customer supplies details; the worker verifies the installation and owner particulars.

Part 3, item (5): customer and installation details

This example covers one residential flat. The enquiry contact may differ from the installation owner; do not substitute one for the other without checking.

The image is a fictional unsigned draft. Read the larger field cards for each entry.

O1

Address of the Fixed Electrical Installation

Entry in this example

九龍示範道1號示範大廈8樓A室(虛構)

What to check:The Chinese text matches the demo PDF: fictional Flat A, 8/F, Example Building, 1 Example Road, Kowloon. Actual entries must identify the building, floor and flat consistently across drawings and records.

O2

Name or Organisation of the Owner

Entry in this example

陳示範(虛構)

What to check:The fictional Chinese name is retained from the PDF. Enter the actual installation owner; do not automatically substitute the enquiry contact or contractor.

O3

Correspondence Address of the Owner (if different)

Left blank in this draft

Blank: same as the installation address in this example

What to check:Do not repeat the address here in this example. Provide the actual correspondence address when it differs.

O4

Owner’s Contact Tel. No.

Entry in this example

20000012 (fictional; do not call)

What to check:This is the owner’s telephone, separate from the REW and REC telephone fields.

02

Responsible person · Responsible worker verifies the actual installation, scope and records.

Part 3, items (a)–(c): diagram, scope and largest switch

The 63 A, 220 V, single-phase and circuit entries only illustrate the fields. They are not recommended residential specifications, measured results or evidence of safety.

T1

Brief description and/or schematic diagrams

Entry in this example

The example is described by diagram (a) and the installation attachment

What to check:This describes the combined Part 3 information; it does not imply a separate official text box requiring this sentence.

T2

Additional number of drawings

Entry in this example

1 page

What to check:One separate single-line drawing, SLD-1. Do not count the two WR1 pages. Use the same count in the Chinese and English fields.

T3

Additional description sheets

Entry in this example

3 pages

What to check:One installation attachment plus two circuit schedules. With the two WR1 pages and one drawing, the complete example has six pages.

T4

(a) Single-line diagram

Entry in this example

DB-01: C01 living/dining lighting 10 A; C02 living/dining sockets 20 A; C03 air conditioner 20 A; C04 water heater 20 A

What to check:A reduced diagram appears on WR1; the full drawing is attachment SLD-1. Protective devices, conductors and other entries also require actual verification; do not copy these ratings into a real design.

T5

(b) Location and description of inspected part

Entry in this example

住宅配電箱及四條出線回路(虛構操作示範,未實測)

What to check:The PDF text means a residential distribution board and four outgoing circuits, fictional and untested. Actual wording must identify the location and inspected scope without implying wider coverage.

T6

(c) Largest switching device: amperes

Entry in this example

63 A

What to check:Record the verified rating of the largest switching device in the inspected part. Do not add the four outgoing circuit ratings.

T7

(c) Largest switching device: volts

Entry in this example

220 V

What to check:Verify the actual installation and device information. Do not default to 220 V simply because it is a home.

T8

(c) Single/three phase

Entry in this example

Keep single / 單相; delete three / 三相

What to check:The English and Chinese choices must agree. Verify the actual phase arrangement instead of inferring it from this example.

Responsible person · The REW actually responsible for this installation, inspection and testing certification.

Part 2, item (3): installation, inspection and testing REW

The same fictional details are repeated only to show their positions. Actual design and inspection roles may involve different people and must be verified independently. Neither declaration is selected because this example was not tested.

How does the tool avoid retyping?

These screenshots show the same fictional project. Supplied customer details carry into the draft. Personnel eligibility, technical entries and inspection conclusions still require verification.

WR1 structure and certification responsibilities
Map of the two-page WR1 form
Page 1
1Part 1: DesignREW certification · REC endorsement
2Part 2: Installation & inspectionREW certification · REC endorsement
Page 2
3Part 3: Installation particularsCustomer details + worker verification
01

Start with the two-page form

Page 1 contains Part 1 for design and Part 2 for installation, inspection and testing. Page 2 contains Part 3 for installation particulars. You can organise Part 3 first, before the responsible personnel complete Parts 1 and 2. The enquiry contact and installation owner may be different people.

02

Part 3, item (5): customer details

Provide the full Hong Kong installation address, the owner’s name or organisation and contact telephone. Give a separate correspondence address if it differs. An example such as Flat A, 8/F, Example Building, 1 Example Street is fictional and must be replaced with actual details. Obtain authority before providing another person’s information.

03

Part 3, items (a)–(c): technical entries

The responsible worker prepares the installation description and/or diagram for the actual inspected scope and counts additional drawings and description sheets. Item (a) holds the single-line diagram; (b) identifies the inspected location and scope; (c) records the verified largest switching device rating, voltage and phase, deleting the inapplicable option. Do not guess values from a sample or a single circuit.

04

Part 1, items (1) and (2): design and endorsement

The REW responsible for design certification enters their name, registration number, expiry, grade, permitted works, telephone and signing date. For the REC entry, distinguish the authorised representative from the contractor and verify registration details. Design and inspection may involve different personnel; do not copy one person into both roles without checking.

05

Part 2, items (3) and (4): inspection and dates

The REW selects the applicable declaration: inspection of the installation described in Part 3, or inspection of only part with valid applicable WR1(A) certificates received for the other parts. Record the actual inspection date, separately from signing dates. Do not preselect conclusions or default to today. An authorised REC signatory endorses the record and confirms delivery and copy retention as stated on the form.

06

Use the tool without retyping customer details

Customer submission → administrator review and assignment → reviewed partner accepts → worker opens the same project. Supplied address, owner and telephone details carry into the draft. Complete only missing or changed entries, verify personnel profiles, site details and circuits, preview the single-line diagram, then export an unsigned WR1 PDF.

07

Review, sign and hand over

Check the address, inspected scope, drawing counts, registration entries and dates for consistency. Do not certify uncompleted or unverified work. The tool does not store or apply signature samples. Its PDF leaves signatures blank for responsible and authorised personnel to complete after the required verification. Never pre-sign blank certificates or circulate reusable signature samples.
