why you need an electrical certificate of compliance

An Electrical Certificate of Compliance (ECOC or COC) is a crucial document in South Africa. It verifies that electrical work has been done safely and meets legal standards.

Whether you’re renovating, building, or selling property, you’ll need a valid COC. The COC is issued by registered electrical contractors who comply with regulations. It ensures that the electrical installation is safe, properly connected, and won’t pose risks to occupants or property.


To obtain a COC, the electrical installation must adhere to the Code of Practice.This includes proper wiring, correct connections, and compliance with safety guidelines.The COC certifies that your electrical system aligns with these standards.

The COC covers various aspects, including wiring, distribution boards, sockets, switches, and electric fences.It’s not just about new installations; even renovations or repairs require a valid COC. Without a valid COC, you may face legal issues or insurance problems.

If you have an electric fence, obtaining an ECOC is essential.It ensures that the fence is correctly installed, safe, and complies with regulations. Always verify the COC’s authenticity and keep it handy for property transactions or inspections.

types of eLECTRICAL compliance CERTIFICATEs

HOME ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATE

A Home Electrical Certificate is a crucial document that homeowners in South Africa must possess. It is a legal requirement under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which mandates that every residential property must have a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC). This certificate proves that the home's electrical installations comply with the stipulated regulations and standards. It ensures that the home's electrical wiring, circuitry, and installations are safe and correctly installed.

The Home Electrical Certificate is not just a piece of paper but a guarantee of safety for the house's residents. It is issued by a registered electrician who inspects the electrical installations and verifies their compliance with the South African National Standards (SANS 10142-1). The certificate covers wiring, circuitry, earthing and bonding systems, safety switches, and overloading protection. It is important to note that any additional electrical work done in the home requires an amendment to the CoC. The responsibility of obtaining this certificate lies with the user of the electrical installation, not the property owner. Thus, a Home Electrical Certificate is a testament to the electrical safety of a home, providing peace of mind to homeowners and potential buyers alike.

COMMERCIAL ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATE

The Commercial Electrical Certificate is important to commercial properties and businesses in South Africa. It’s a document and a legal obligation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which mandates that every commercial property has a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC). This certificate is a testament to the fact that the electrical installations within the property align with the regulations and standards of the South African National Standards (SANS 10142-1).

Issuing a Commercial Electrical Certificate is a step towards ensuring safety in commercial spaces. It is a reflection of the business's commitment to the protection of its employees and customers. After thoroughly inspecting the electrical installations, a registered electrician issues this certificate. The certificate encompasses wiring, circuitry, earthing and bonding systems, safety switches, and overloading protection. Notably, any subsequent electrical work necessitates an amendment to the CoC. A Commercial Electrical Certificate is not just a legal document but a shield that safeguards commercial property, instilling confidence in business owners, employees, and customers.

WHAT IS THE cost of an electrician?

Electricians can charge between R350 to R900 per hour, depending on their experience and qualifications. Residential electricians generally charge anything between R350 to R750 per hour, while commercial and master electricians can range from R500 to R900 per hour.

make sure your electrician is registered to issue electrical certificates of compliance

In South Africa today, there are many electricians who are operating outside of the law and who are not registered with the Department of Labour and the public has no recourse should their work prove to be non compliant.

Always confirm the company & electricians registration number.

Confirm your certificate serial number, before commencement of work.
