How the CoC process works
Step 1: Request your inspection
Send your name, mobile number and property suburb. We'll confirm the fee and an available time.
Step 2: We inspect and test
A registered professional assesses the electrical installation and records any non-compliance.
Step 3: Receive the result
If the installation complies, the CoC and test report are issued. If defects are found, you receive clear findings and a repair quote first.
What the inspection covers
An inspection assesses the property's fixed electrical installation. Scope depends on the installation and the applicable requirements.
Distribution board and protective devices
Board condition, circuit protection, earth leakage protection and labelling.
Earthing and bonding
Earth continuity and bonding of the installation where required.
Fixed wiring and circuits
Condition and arrangement of the fixed wiring serving the property.
Socket outlets, switches and fixed points
Fixed accessories and permanently connected equipment points.
Required testing and measurements
The tests and measurements applicable to the installation being certified.
Visible installation defects and non-compliance
Anything visibly non-compliant that must be recorded and addressed.
Applicable test report and documentation
The test record that accompanies a certificate on compliance.
Portable appliances are not automatically part of a standard fixed-installation inspection.

CoC questions, answered
What is an electrical CoC?
An electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC) is a document confirming that the fixed electrical installation covered by it has been inspected and tested against the applicable requirements and found to comply on the date of issue.
It relates to the building's electrical installation, not to the appliances you plug in.
Who may issue an electrical CoC in South Africa?
A certificate may only be issued by an appropriately Registered Person acting within the legal electrical contractor framework. The certificate is issued in that person's name, based on the inspection and testing they carried out.
What does the inspection cover?
The inspection covers the fixed installation: the distribution board and protective devices, earthing and bonding, fixed wiring and circuits, socket outlets, switches and fixed points, along with the required testing and measurements.
The exact scope depends on the installation and applicable requirements. Portable appliances are not automatically part of a standard fixed-installation CoC inspection.
How long does an inspection take?
The time needed depends on the size and condition of the installation. We confirm an expected duration when we confirm your appointment, so you know how much access to plan for.
What happens if the property does not pass?
If the installation does not comply, you receive the findings in writing along with a repair quote. The defects must be addressed before a compliant certificate can be issued.
Once the approved repairs are completed and the installation is re-tested and found compliant, the certificate and test report are issued.
Are repairs included in the inspection fee?
No. The inspection fee covers inspection, testing and issuing the certificate if the installation complies. Repairs and replacement parts are quoted separately so you can see exactly what each correction costs.
Can Welvaart repair the defects?
Yes. We can quote for the corrective work, and you decide whether to proceed with us or elsewhere. You receive the findings and the quote before any repair work is scheduled.
What should I have ready before the inspection?
Access to the distribution board and to every room with fixed electrical points, keys for outbuildings and locked areas, and any previous certificate or test report you have.
It also helps to know about recent electrical work, including solar or inverter installations.
