Uploading Files
The following page will show you how to upload files in the registration system.
Watch our walkthrough video below:
Alternatively, you can follow the detailed instructions outlined
below:
Some steps in the application require you to upload a document or
documents. Such documents can include:
- Test reports
- Nameplate images
- Energy rating label
- Letters of authorisation
- Product images.
Rules for uploading documents
- You cannot upload more than one file at a time.
-
If you upload very large files the browser may appear to
“freeze” as it is uploading the document. It may be useful to
break large files up into smaller sections.
-
Ensure that the name of the file you are uploading does not
contain any special or foreign characters (such as ©
á ë). Only use standard characters, for example,
A-Z, 0-9, dash, underscore and space.
About uploading a file
When a document needs to be uploaded, the following question will be

To upload a document or file:
-
Select the “Choose File” or “Browse” button.
-
Browse to the location of the document you want to upload.
-
Select the “file” you want to upload.
-
Note that you can only upload one file at a time. Large files
will take a long time to upload. Ensure the name of the file
contains only standard characters such as A-Z, 0-9, underscore
and space.
-
Select the “Open” button.
-
Your file will be uploaded to your application. Note that if
your file is very large or you are on a slow internet
connection it may take several minutes for your file to upload.
-
If you need to upload another file select “add another” (see
Figure 5 below) and repeat steps 1 – 4.
