Question regarding single phase electrical wiring of premises (Continued)

[Howler]

Good day all

Thank you all for your input regarding yesterday's post of the same subject.

The saga continues. The purpose of this post is to address 3 other areas that seems ambiguous to me.


My next query surrounds the COC itself.

1. Although both pages are yellow, and seems to have the right emblems on etc.

The only problem i have is that in the past i have been given a COC in booklet form, and these are two separate pages that are blank at the back.

Is this a legitimate COC form? See picture attached.

2. On one of the pages the supplementary box is ticked. Surely when this is the main COC that is handed over to the bank and to the insurance and to the new owner, this
has to be a standalone document, and somebody coming to install a separate piece of equipment then fills one of these supplementary COC's in that has to be attached to the main one.

Is this valid, or must i insist on receiving a proper COC where the supplementary box hasn't been ticked? Despite all the electrical faults and noncompliance wiring that has been plaguing us during this progress!!!

See picture.

3. And then lastly, there is the matter of timing. This Friday we are expecting the installation of our 5kva backup system, which we have been using as a plug and play unit this last month.
I suspect that after the installation, they will be issuing a supplementary COC ( as per point number 2)

In one of my phone conversation with this electrician who issued the COC, and informing him that we are using this inverter and certain circuits in the house makes the inverter trip he
then calmly refused to acknowledge any issues with him issuing the COC, and claiming that after us using the inverter his COC immediately expires. When i informed him that we are using
it as a plug and play unit in the meantime, he hung up the phone in my ear.

So my question is this. I am 4 days away from installation of the inverter. When they come install the wires, and issue supplementary COC, does this invalidate his COC, and immediately clear him from any wrongdoing?
Or can he still be hold accountable for issuing a certificate to wiring that doesn't comply to standards, to which this new company would not be doing any modifications to.

I would hate this to happen, but also have paid a heafty sum of money for the installation of this inverter. And cannot delay the process of fear of installation cost rising and the availability of said company
potentially getting cold feet if this drag out too long.



Once again thankyou to all the members and their advice.

Appreciate it greatly!!

Kind Regards
