Justloadit you are right, but I don"t think that there is anything stating that it is the sellers responsibility, although most estate agents probably put it into the deed of sale that way. That probably explains why it is not required before a property is auctioned.
"No person may sell, advertise to sell, barter or trade anything for which a safety standard exists without that standard having been me, to the full extent of the law it may not even be given away free"Originally Posted by Richard S
I think that clearly indicates who is responsible for the COC and all estate agents know!
A COC is supposed to be in place before transfer of ownership.
If the buyer agrees to take the onus upon himself for the COC, he may do so in writing, but that does not excuse him from getting a COC before registration.
What I have done was to remove the old installation and install a Certified site box. It solved the issue for me.
Hi. Can a COC be issued for a specific job portion done on an installation?
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND ASFETY ACT, 1993 (ACT NO. 85 OF 1993)
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
Issuing of certificate of compliance
(3) Any person who undertakes to do electrical installation work shall ensure that a valid certificate of compliance is issued for that work.
just imagine if we could get to the point where this statement was valid.
(b)
an electrical installation which existed prior to the publication of the current edition of the health and safety standard incorporated into these Regulations in terms of regulation 5(1), complies with the general safety principles of such standard; or
(c)
an electrical installation referred to in paragraph (b), to which extensions or alterations have been effected, that
(i) the existing part of the electrical installation complies with the general safety principles of such standard and is reasonably safe, and
(ii) the extensions or alterations effected comply with the provisions of regulation 5(1) and were carried out under his or her general control.
(3)
If at any time prior to the issuing of a certificate of compliance any fault or defect is detected in any part of the electrical installation, the registered person shall refuse to issue such certificate until that fault or defect has been rectified
Hi there
Does anyone know how our wiremans license qualification would compare in the UK.
If you move from SA to the UK and you have a wiremans license would you have to write a test over there again or are our standards in line with theirs?

Does the issuance of a CoC require permanent connection to the national grid. Are the tests that require power valid if only a generator is used to carry out testing and commissioning of an electrical installation.

Quick question. if i do contract work, what annexure must i complete with the company and how do i keep my GN nr? and how do i do the registration at DOL if i work work more then one company in a year? as it shows a couple companies I've worked for on their system and the ECA said this is going to be a problem but they don't know what i must do to fix it. Each company has to register me as I'm doing COC's under the company name.
