What should the check record?
Run it before every formal review and after topology, equipment or distribution changes.
| Control | Evidence | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Basis | Source and revision list | Current |
| Paths | Trace review | Clear or action |
| References | Tag cross-check | Aligned or action |
| Approval | Review status | Named gate |
What does the checklist not prove?
It does not establish code compliance, capacity, protection performance or Tier certification. Those decisions stay with qualified project professionals and any relevant certifying body.

Common questions
What else should the bid team know?
Does completion approve the SLD?
No. It records drafting controls before engineering review.
Should every revision repeat the check?
Repeat the controls affected by the change and the project's required complete pre-issue check.
Can the CSV join the drawing register?
Yes. Name it with the drawing set and revision so the record stays traceable.
