YOU MUST HAVE A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR YOUR PROPERTY AT ALL TIMES
The law is very clear on this. Again, it states the “user or lessor” must have a valid certificate. Without it your insurance and even your bond could be invalidated if you wish to make a claim. Again, please remember this doesn’t necessarily put the requirement on the property owner and if you are the user or lessor then you could open yourself up to a counter claim from the property owner if you manage the property.
Whole house suppressors get wired into the electrical panel, and only take a few hours for an electrician to complete the service.
While these don’t safe guard your home one hundred percent, they are very effective and can save you thousands in the long run.
The Certificate of Compliance (CoC) is just a one page legal document. The remaining information you receive from your electrical contracting company is what is known as a ‘test report’ and can include wiring diagrams and photos. The test report is designed to be a concise record of the work performed, the inspections and tests on your property that ensure it is safe and compliant with the standards.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The new ‘General Test Report’ published by the SABS is just one page. This is because it is expected the electrician supply annexure's that accompany the document that are specialised to your installation. It is highly unlikely you should ever receive just the 1 page document, in most circumstances you should receive annexure pages as well.
