Introduction

An Electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC) is a critical document in South Africa, ensuring that your property’s electrical installations are safe and compliant and inline with with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993, and SANS 10142-1 standards.

Why Verify Your Electrical COC?

Verifying an Electrical COC is essential for several reasons:

• Safety Assurance: Ensures your electrical installations are safe, preventing hazards like fires or electric shocks.
• Legal Compliance: A valid COC is required for property sales, rentals, or insurance claims.

The Problem: Fake COCs are circulating, often issued by unqualified individuals or sold as blank copies by some "registered electrical contractors", putting your safety and investments at risk. This is the Harse truth! 

Challenges of Verifying a COC

Verifying an Electrical COC can be challenging due to:

• No Centralized Public Database: The Department of Employment and Labour (DoEL) does not provide a public online tool for COC verification.

• Time-Consuming Process: Contacting regulatory bodies directly can be slow and complex.
