What do the green, amber and red colours mean?
CertNudge uses colour-coded indicators to help you review recorded certificate expiry dates.
The colours show how the dates entered in CertNudge are classified. They do not verify the certificate or determine legal compliance.
What each colour means
Not currently expiring soon
The recorded expiry date has not passed and falls outside the expiring-soon range used by that view.
Approaching expiry
The recorded expiry date is approaching and the record falls within the expiring-soon range shown in that view.
Recorded as expired
The expiry date entered for the certificate has passed and the record should be reviewed.
Some dashboard highlighting uses narrower ranges
In the Upcoming Expirations section, a red left border identifies records expiring within 0–7 days.
A yellow left border identifies records expiring within 8–14 days. Later entries in the displayed window may have no coloured left border.
What should I check?
- Read the written status: Do not rely on colour alone.
- Check the expiry date: Compare the date in CertNudge with the original certificate.
- Review upcoming work: Arrange inspections, remedial work or renewals when required.
- Correct inaccurate records: Update the certificate if its date or status has been entered incorrectly.
Green does not mean legally compliant
A green indicator means only that the date recorded in CertNudge has not reached the relevant warning range. CertNudge does not authenticate the document, provide legal advice or guarantee compliance.
