A Certificate of Compliance records the inspection and tests for the installation covered by the certificate, with a test report supporting it.
Expert insight: A registered person issues it only after the electrician rectifies any blocking defects.
The Electrical Installation Regulations require users or lessors to hold a valid certificate, subject to stated exceptions.
Expert insight: A certificate is also relevant after additions or alterations, and the transfer rules apply when ownership changes.
The certificate does not have a general annual expiry date.
Expert insight: However, the Electrical Installation Regulations state that a change of ownership may not proceed if the certificate is older than two years, and later additions or alterations need appropriate certification.
The registered person must refuse the certificate until the electrician rectifies faults or defects found before certification.
Expert insight: You should receive clear findings, approve the corrective work and ask for the relevant retest afterward.
The inspection concerns the fixed electrical installation and its connection points, not the internal condition of portable appliances.
Expert insight: Exact scope can depend on the equipment connection, so ask the registered person to explain what the test report covers.
Do not carry out electrical installation work unless you are legally competent and authorised to do so.
Expert insight: A registered person must verify repairs to the fixed installation before certification.
Time depends on the property's size, number of distribution boards, access and the condition of the installation.
Expert insight: Ask for a scope-based estimate after the property details are known instead of relying on a fixed time promise.
An addition or alteration to an installation with an existing certificate requires a certificate for at least that addition or alteration.
Expert insight: A registered person should confirm the correct scope for the work completed.
The registered person inspects the fixed installation and records the prescribed tests in the test report.
Expert insight: The checks cover protection, earthing, circuit condition and alterations as applicable to that installation.
Provide safe access to distribution boards, isolators, fixed equipment and relevant outdoor points.
Expert insight: Keep previous certificates, test reports and details of recent alterations available, but do not remove covers yourself.
Our Electrician Stories
Here are a few 24/7 Emergency Electrician experiences we recently handled in Constantia Park
The owner needs an evidence-based view of the installation before transfer. The inspection covers the installation and prescribed electrical tests. Any defects go into a clear repair list before the electrician considers a certificate. Practical Tip: Provide safe access to every relevant part of the fixed installation before the inspection starts.
New lights, sockets or backup equipment may change the installation after an earlier certificate. The current condition needs inspection and testing. Previous paperwork helps, but it does not replace the present assessment. Practical Tip: An older certificate does not automatically cover work added later.
The property manager has limited documents for past work. A structured inspection can identify the DB board, circuits and visible alterations before testing. Clear findings help the owner plan corrective work. Practical Tip: A clear record of past alterations can reduce tracing time during the inspection.
Backup equipment must connect safely to the installation. The electrician checks the changeover arrangement, protection and relevant circuit connections as part of the applicable scope. Product paperwork should be available where possible. Practical Tip: Keep inverter and changeover documents with the property's electrical records.
A failed item is not solved by changing the wording on a report. The defect needs a suitable repair and verification. The electrician should explain what failed, why it matters and which items need retesting. Practical Tip: Ask for defects in plain language and approve repairs from the recorded evidence.
