An electrical Certificate Of Compliance (COC) is a document verifying that an electrical installation such as the plugs, lighting, DB board, geyser and building wiring complies with the legal requirements as detailed in the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
According to this act, property may not be sold unless a valid certificate of compliance has been presented, requiring that the property pass an inspection and comply with SANS 10142-1 regulations. This will prove to the potential buyer that all of the electrical work and installations are in good working order, and up to standard.
If during your inspection it is found that anything is not up to standard, you will be required to have those items repaired before the certificate can be issued.
When would you require an electrical Certificate Of Compliance?
As a standard, the electrical certificate of compliance will last 2 years from the date of issue, as long as there has been no changes to the electrical installation subsequently. If any changes are made to your electrical installation, a registered electrician will need to provide a supplementary certificate for any changes done. It is, however, recommended at the very least, and required that you get a new electrical certificate of compliance when you decide to sell your home.
The electrical COC covers your entire electrical installation from your main DB (distribution board) to the plugs, lights and other circuits. When the inspection takes place, the following will be inspected:
- Your entire distribution board (DB) and any sub boards such as circuit breakers, earth leakage etc.
- The earthing and connectivity of your entire installation.
- The bonding of all metal components such as satellite dishes or TV antennas.
- Light switches and sockets.
- Isolators and all fixed appliances.
- All the incoming wiring from the mains to the distribution board.
- All internal wiring from the distribution board to switches and plugs.
- Position of all electrical equipment and the accessibility of main switches.
- Ensuring all electrical equipment is of the correct type and rating for the application, has been installed in an approved manner, is SABS (and other relevant standard regulation authority) approved.
- Full readings to test voltages, earthing and more.
