Online electrical contractor registration

[ians]

I noticed my electrical contractor DOL registration has expired.

Any suggestions where to renew it online.

I've just had mine done by the ECA, even though I am no longer a member. They charge R150 fee to register you. My alternative was to drive through to Pretoria to the head office, drop off all the paperwork, and return two weeks later for the licence. It was worth the R150 to save the hassle

Anyone know when online COC's will be available to everyone not just the ECA ?

Its seems everything is closed ... I will have to renew my contractors registration in the new year ... I am sure nobody will notice it has expired.

This is really good. Thanks for sharing this information.

The contract email address at the ECA for licensing renewal is Pfano;
pfanon@ecasa.co.za

For the record the ECA no longer handle DOL registrations.

The person who does the DOL registrations is not available at the DOL.

I am sure I can use my old DOL registration until it is possible to register.

The ECB also dont do DOL registration anymore ... apparently certain DOL departments done want other people doing the registration ... you have to go to the department in person

The COC ... I made a decision to create my own online COC's 2 pages the same as in the latest SANS ed 3 and use the number from the 4 page COC ... it is a legal document and therefore so long as the COC I create and issue has all the required information ... there is no reason why it cant be done ... I will attach the 4 page COC to the copy for reference to the number.

If anyone feels this is illegal feel free to show me why I cant.

I contacted the ECB and ECA to try purchase online COC ... however the ECB require a R900 membership fee and the same with the ECA membership is required.

So what is so special about the online COC ... an XL document saved as a PDF ? or is there some sort of security features to prevent people from modifying them .... a PDF document can be modified if you have the right software.

You can purchase a 20 pack of COC's from the ECA as a non member.

The question ... who is responsible for the COC documents ... SANS or The DOL or the ECB or the ECA ?

What makes the ECA or ECB online COC legit ?

As things presently stand, I don't think it would be illegal, however, what are the advantages ? Sounds like extra work to me.

I write out the COC on bought forms, scan and print.

That way I have a pdf for online use as well as a hard copy.

Peace out ... Derek Stuart

Trying to renew my DOL contractor registration is proving to be a bigger challenge than expected ... looks like we going to be a pirate contractor another 10 years .

You cant renew online ... maybe nobody at the DOL has the skills to use a computer or maybe they dont have computers

The ECB no longer do it for their members because apparently the DOL will not allow them to do it.

The ECA dont do it anymore .for the same reason.

We wonder why this industry has fallen through its own a$$.

COC's have become a joke not worth the paper they are printed on ... and we complain about the contractors and crap workmanship ... eeeesih.

Like all the other documents ... we could just put DOL registration "pending"

Fortunately I already have a number ... so we will just use that one with "pending" next to it.
