Electrical Certificate of Compliance

Electrical Certificate of Compliance

An Electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC) is a legal document that certifies that electrical installations within a property meet the required safety standards as outlined by South African law. This certificate is essential for any property owner to ensure the electrical work is safe and compliant with regulations to prevent potential hazards like electrical fires or shocks.

At Monster Electrical, we can assess your property's electrical work and infrastructure, quote you on any required upgrades, and provide a Certificate of Compliance when legal requirements are met per your area’s bylaws. This will provide peace of mind and is necessary when selling a property or making any major electrical changes to ensure the safety and legality of the installation.

We provide COCs for:

Offices and other commercial buildings
Homes and complexes
Factories and plants
Farms
Any other properties

The importance of Electrical Certificates of Compliance when selling property

If you plan to sell your property, obtaining an Electrical Certificate of Compliance is a legal requirement and, therefore, a vital step in the selling process. The COC assures potential buyers that the electrical systems in the home are safe, compliant, and free from defects that could pose future risks. Having a valid COC can expedite the sale of your property, as buyers often require it before finalising a transaction.

In South Africa, a COC is valid for two years from the date of issue. However, if any changes or modifications are made to the electrical installation during that period, a new COC must be obtained to ensure that the installation remains compliant with safety standards. This requirement is particularly important when selling a property, as the COC must be current and reflect any updates or alterations made to the electrical system.

Monster Electrical offers fast and thorough inspections, ensuring you receive your COC quickly to allow moving forward with your property sale confidently. By ensuring that your electrical systems meet legal standards, you protect the value of your property and provide reassurance to buyers.
