Peace of mind
What is an electrical COC?
A Certificate of Compliance confirms that an electrical installation meets the safety requirements of SANS 10142-1. It’s your proof that the work was done correctly and legally.
We inspect and test your installation, explain any issues in plain language and, once everything complies, issue your certificate — giving you peace of mind and keeping your sale or project on track.

FAQs
COC questions
When do I need an electrical COC?
A Certificate of Compliance is needed when a property is sold and whenever new electrical work is done — including additions and alterations to an existing installation.
How long is a COC valid?
A COC doesn’t expire on a fixed date, but it only covers the installation as it was when inspected. Any later changes need new certification, and many buyers, banks and conveyancers ask for a recent certificate — so check what your transaction requires.
What happens if my installation doesn’t pass?
We give you a clear list of what needs fixing, with a quote. Once the remedial work is done, we retest the installation and issue your COC.
Who pays for the COC when selling a property?
In most sales the seller is responsible for providing the COC. Check your sale agreement or ask your estate agent or conveyancer.
