What You Need to Know About Certificates of Compliance (C.O.C)
When selling a property, securing a bond, or ensuring proper insurance coverage, an up-to-date Certificate of Compliance (C.O.C) is essential. This certificate, issued only by accredited electricians, is your guarantee that your property’s electrical system meets all safety standards and complies with SABS 10142 regulations.
Think of it as a safety check for your home’s electrical circuits. The inspection ensures that all wiring, outlets, and other electrical components are functioning safely and correctly. However, keep in mind that it does not cover general maintenance, so it’s crucial to address any lingering issues before the inspection to avoid costly repairs that could cut into your sale profits.
A C.O.C is valid for two years, so if you’re planning to sell, don’t wait until the last minute. Get ahead of the game and schedule your inspection early!
Why It Matters for Insurance . . .
Did you know that without a valid C.O.C, your insurance claim could be denied in case of electrical issues or accidents? All homes and commercial buildings should have a valid Certificate of Compliance, and if you’re adding new electrical systems or extensions to your property, a new C.O.C is required to cover the changes.
Remember, if your property uses electrical power, a Certificate of Compliance isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a legal must-have!
