Certificate of compliance

I accept your point. Then the only way is to approach the ECA with enough support and get them on board. Business in JHB for the past two and a half years has been tough. This year has been a disaster. Contractors are closing down left right and centre.

Does anybody know what the electric drill has to do with the whole exercise ? And at that.......this make of drill is by far the worst quality that there is.
I opened one the other day, had one look and chucked it into the waste bin.

A couple of things here are that ECA are an association, their first obligation is to their members, that is why they have no authority over the illegals. They must also not be given that power. It is my choice whether I want to join an association or not. They have a bad history. Things are looking up but for how long. Maybe they had no choice but to accommodate. The DOL are the appointed watchdogs. They must lift their behinds & get active. Maybe CB will pay them a visit. Maybe a restructuring of the top brass of the ECA will make it a more attractive ass, so much so that the industry can take pride in being members and all register. They have the numbers but what have they done about the non-action by the DOL watchdogs? Legal contractors who rip people off must be exposed, I would also love to know how the protective device can be blamed for a faulty appliance. It is as absurd as taking you car for a service because it has a flat wheel??? I find it hard to believe how gullible the public are even though I see it on a saily basis.

I still say that the cabinetmaker should be electrocuted if he builds a cupboard over the DB. And the more confined it is the lower the amperage to make the time longer.

I know it was gentle ribbing, Murdock - so no worries
