Glossary

This section defines or clarifies the meaning of the terms we use in the Pirform and Shine Forms.

Forms

Pirform and Shine Forms is mainly focused on creating electrical certificates and reports. But, for a long time, we've used the term "certificate" to refer to any document that Pirform produces, often abbreviating that to "cert". Almost always, we mean "certificates or reports".

However, "certificates or reports" is more long-winded and cumbersome. So, we're trying to standardise on the term "form" and use that to refer to any of the documents that Pirform produces. So, when we use the term "form", we could mean a "certificate", a "report", or any other type of document such as a circuit chart.
