Contractor Details: General¶

Contractor Code
Register ETAS to receive a Contractor Code and password that can be used to sign off certificates and generate full reports .
The Contractor Code is a 6-character label that identifies the organization or individual that produced the certificate. Each Contractor Code is unique and forms part of your certificate or report number. It can incorporate letters/numbers from your trading title e.g. ETC001 (Electrical Testing Company).
If you engage multiple inspectors, engineers or electricians with multiple computers, configure every copy of ETAS with your registered Contractor Code. This will ensure new certificates are labelled consistently. Inspectors can print draft copies, board schedules and bill of materials, but cannot “sign off” or print final certificates and reports without the password.
