This is were it all begins in simple terms.
I will use a house as an example ... but it applies to every building.
You get an electrician to fit 1 socket outlet ... does he need to issue a COC .. the answer is simple yes.
However you dont even know what a COC look like ... that's where the problem begins.
The electrician cannot issue a COC if there is no original COC ... other wise he automatically takes full responsibility for the entire electrical installation.
So before you call an electrician ... make sure your property has a valid COC ... the COC is valid for as long as you live in the property. (not that simple if you sell ... but we are not going to complicate it)
Once you find the COC and any supplementary COC attachments ... you make the electrician aware of the documents so that when they are finished the installation then they can fill out the supplementary COC ... take a copy of all the documents and hand the original to you ... which must be attached to the original and stored in a safe place.
