    Thanks Dave, I was going to do that but I was in a hurry and also couldn't figure it out. The part about "regular maintenance" is in there somewhere, or is it in SANS, but I couldn't find it.
    To make a mistake is human, to learn from that mistake is knowledge and knowledge is strength.

    I suspect you are referring to this, Leecatt:

    Responsibility for electrical installations

    2. (1) Subject to subregulation (3), the user or lessor of an electrical installation, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the safety, safe use and maintenance of the electrical installation he or she uses or leases.

    (2) The user or lessor of an electrical installation, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the safety of the conductors on his or her premises connecting the electrical installation to the point of supply in the case where the point of supply is not the point of control.
    For the record, subreg 3 deals with an agreement between the user and lessor...

    And then there's this gem, which is interesting - especially when it comes to maintenance -

    5 (4) A registered person shall exercise general control over all electrical installation work being carried out, and no person may allow such work without such control.
    That would also be the responsibility of the user or lessor to ensure on an existing installation, I'd think.

    A valid electrical certificate must be passed onto the the new owner.
    An electrical certificate remains valid for 2 years provided regular maintenance has been performed upon the electrical installation, and all additions and alterations have been certified.

    Before I get into the second part of that point, were any problems that needed fixing found during the examination and testing of the installation?
