Hi

The regulation (Sans 10142 Ed2 ) has been out since March 2017 warning us that it would take effect from Jan 2018 - From January you cannot sign a COC on new installations unless the socket outlet point complies.
Any COC for a new installation that was issued after Jan 2018 and did not have a "euro" socket ( SANS164-2) installed at every socket outlet point is invalid - You could be held liable to return and correct the installation at your own cost.
At the moment there is no option but to install.


SANS 10142-1 ED 2 - pg 177 - 6.15.1.1.1 c - effective from January 2018 all socket-outlet points for new electrical installations shall include at least one socket-outlet complying with the dimensions of SANS 164-2.Socket-outlets points may also include socket-outlets complying with the dimensions of SANS 164-1.
