Before I even waste my time going into details about this COC, let me just say this, a COC with errors is not valid --- period.

Once again, to this day I have a 100 % fail rate at document level, which means that not one COC that has landed on my desk have even got past the document.

The question you have to ask, should licensed tradesmen be allowed to issue a legal document, if they cant even fill out a piece of paper? Just imagine, how many faults I would find if I visit the site

The 100% fail rate includes from one man operations to large organisation, including ECA members (the issues with the ECA member is still not sorted out )

What is the problem with the industry?

Crap training? this would be were I would start looking.

Is it the customers fault, because they are selling and dont want to spend any more that they absolute minimum?

Inspectors being bullied by their employer?

We have a huge problem in this industry, and something should be done about it, as soon as possible.
