What is Form 12?
The Aspect Inspection Certificate, known as Form 12, is crucial in the building and construction industry. This form is filled out by an appointed competent person who inspects specific parts of a building project, like waterproofing or tiling. It verifies that the inspected work complies with building regulations, particularly sections 74 and 77 of the Building Regulation 2021. By confirming that the work meets legal standards, this certificate ensures that the structure is safe and properly executed, providing peace of mind for all involved.

Who is required to fill out Form 12?
The Form 12 must be completed by an appointed competent person who inspects specific building work aspects to ensure compliance with development approval. This individual must have the necessary training, experience, and possibly registration or licensing.
After completion, the building certifier receives the form as proof that the inspected work meets the required standards.
When is Form 12 not required?
Form 12 is not required for self-assessable developments under the Building Regulation 2021, including those covered by Form 30. It’s also unnecessary for work done by a QBCC licensee using Form 43. Additionally, if another competent person conducts the inspection following best industry practices and it’s accepted by the appointed competent person, Form 12 is not needed.
When is Form 12 due?
The deadline for Form 12, the Aspect Inspection Certificate, is when the relevant building work is completed and requires certification.
