When Johannesburg sellers need a COC


You need an Electrical COC in Johannesburg when you sell a house or sectional title unit, after electrical alterations, after a new installation, and often for insurance. A Johannesburg property transfer will not go through without a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance. If you add a plug, light, DB board, solar system or inverter after the COC was issued, you need a supplementary certificate.

What we inspect on a Johannesburg property


The Electrical COC covers the fixed installation on the Johannesburg property, not appliances. We test:

• Main supply and distribution board
• Circuit breakers and earth leakage
• Wiring, earthing and bonding
• Sockets, switches and light points
• Geyser and stove connections
• RCDs and other safety devices

If the DB board fails, we show you what must be corrected before the Johannesburg COC can be issued.
