Electrical Certificates of Compliance (COC)

Selling, renovating or adding new circuits? We inspect, fix what’s needed and issue your COC so you can move forward with confidence.

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.
