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;"
To make a mistake is human, to learn from that mistake is knowledge and knowledge is strength.
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.
Thanks for the reply
Any idea how to find this person appointed by the chief inspector
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.
You can bypass the ECA of you want. They are a purely voluntary organisation. The Eca don't dictate to anyone. They do sell the coc and offer it to their members at a discount price but they are not the only supplier. I think the DOL also offers a coc. I'm not sure of the status of the Ecb though.
Participation is voluntary.
