What Is An Electrical Certificate Of Compliance?
The Electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC) confirms that the electrical work and installations have been completed per the regulations mandated by National Standards (SANS10142 Part 1) and can only be issued by a registered electrical professional.
The certificate of compliance serves as evidence that the electrical installation is safe. Both the law and insurance companies mandate property owners to possess a valid Electrical COC.
In the event of electrical damage, the insurance company will demand a valid electrical certificate. Failing to present the document could lead to the insurance company rejecting the claim.
It’s good maintenance practice to have your property re-inspected for wear and tear at least every two years, ensuring the wiring remains safe for the owner or tenant.
We use an electronic diary system and a portfolio of evidence to maintain comprehensive records of the electrical work. This further enhances the peace of mind we offer when issuing a COC.
