Certification Number & Expiration Date Field Updates
Release Date: April 17th, 2026
Affects: Service Providers & Authority Users who submit test reports
What's Changing
We've made two updates to test report forms. The Certification Number field now contains only the certification number, and the Certification Expiration Date field will now be auto-populated.
Why We Made This Change
By separating certification information into individual fields, we've made it easier to verify that the right certification information will show up on the final report.
Certification expiration date now auto-populates based on the certification selected before starting the report, so there's no need to manually enter information that's already in the system. This reduces the chance of errors and ensures the data on your form is always accurate and up to date.
As part of our ongoing effort to improve the test report experience, we're focused on making forms faster to complete, reducing the opportunity for errors, and ensuring form data is always directly tied to what's already in the system.
What You Need to Know
The Certification Number field will now only show the certification number, not the agency and type. Don't worry — no data has been lost and your PDFs will continue to generate as normal. You can still verify which certification number will appear on your PDF at the last step of the report. You can always click "Edit Tester + Kit" go back and select a different certification if necessary.
The Certification Expiration Date will now fill in automatically — you no longer need to enter it yourself.
Note: If you have a report already in progress, you may see a message that says "Report data has changed." Simply re-confirm your selections and continue — this will update the form and clear the message.
