Step 01Electrical Certificate of Compliance
Your safety. Your property. Your peace of mind.
When selling a property, one of the key documents required is the Electrical Certificate of Compliance. It proves your electrical installation is safe, lawful, and up to South African National Standards.
Why it matters
A CoC may only be issued by a registered, qualified person after a full visual inspection and comprehensive testing of the electrical installation. This ensures the installation is reasonably safe when properly used.
All hazards must be rectified before a valid CoC can be issued.
Issuing an invalid CoC is a criminal offence under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and may result in fines or even imprisonment. Working with a reputable, registered professional is essential.


What we assist with
Depending on your property, more than one certificate or test report may be required. These fall under different regulations and are not included in the standard Electrical CoC.

Seller's guide
An Electrical Certificate of Compliance is a legal document and a legal requirement when selling your property. It protects you, it protects the buyer, and it keeps the transfer process moving.
If no alterations have been done, your electrical CoC may not be older than two years to be used for the transfer of the property.
As per current regulation, solar systems require additional test reports.
Only a registered electrician may issue a CoC after inspecting and testing the installation.
The CoC is a legal document. Providing false information or using an invalid CoC is a criminal offence.
You as the seller are legally responsible for ensuring the electrical installation is compliant.
Having a valid CoC ready avoids delays and last minute negotiations, and can prevent the buyer from requesting a lower price.
