Dave, are you saying that a CoC is only valid for two years? The reason I ask is that your statement doesn't make sense...A COC may be deemed valid for as long as there is no changes to the electrical installation... and for a maximum of two years...

Martinco's question was if the COC would still be valid after three years if no alterations had been made. The electrical installation isn't being sold, the insurance merely needs a valid CoC for insurance purposes. It should be easy to answer it with a yes or no.

"5) Subject to the provisions of section 10(4) of the Act, the user or lessor may not allow a change of ownership if the certificate of compliance is older than two years."

I'm no English teacher but this statement doesn't say that the CoC is only valid for two years, it merely states that a change of ownership cannot occur if the electrical installation's CoC is older than two years.
