Electrical Certificate of Compliance Number?

[Herman]

I am considering printing my own COC's and Test Report, my question is where do I get the COC number or do I simply create my own and keep a record?

If it helps here is an extract from The Electrical Regulations 2009 which is the only reference that I can find to it.

""certificate of compliance" means-
(a) a certificate with a unique number obtainable from the chief inspector, or a person appointed by the chief inspector, in the form of Annexure 1,
and issued by a registered person in respect of an electrical installation or part of an electrical installation; or
(b) a certificate of compliance issued under the Electrical Installation Regulations, 1992;"

Have a look at http://www.ecbsa.co.za/site/files/eC...ual.pdf‎ . ECB SA members can complete online CoC's or e-CoC's as they call them. I'm not sure what registration costs but each CoC is around R3, with its own unique number.

You might as well make your own CoC's as the DoL has no inspectors to follow up or inspect any installations, the CoC has become a scam and a tool to rip off the consumer.

Are you an electrician Slow Blow, or an unimpressed consumer?

I’m an electrician trying to bypass the ECA. I think they have been dictating to electricians for too long. Of course I would like to know whatever I’m doing is legal.

A cynical electrician unimpressed by the political and racial infighting going on in the electrical industry of the Western Cape

That doesn't sound good.

If you want some discussion on it or to blow off steam, it might be an idea to start another thread (so that this one stays on the topic of COC's).
