Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CoC?
A certificate of compliance (CoC) is a certificate signed by a registered gas installer that certifies the gas installation / inspection was done by a registered gas installer and that the installation is compliant to the current gas regulations (SANS 10087-1 2013).
A certificate of compliance must be issued for a permanent installation upon:
- Completion of a new gas installation
- After any new gas appliance(s) was added to the existing gas line or modifications / maintenance were done to an existing gas line
- When selling a property with an existing gas installation
Why do you need a CoC?
To ensure that your gas installation was done according to the current gas regulations and is safe for use.
In the event that you submit a claim to your insurance, the insurance and other parties will require you to produce a valid certificate.
Not having a valid certificate of compliance may result in the insurance companies declining your claim.
How long is a CoC valid?
A CoC does not expire, however a new CoC must be issued when the following occurs:
- When any changes have been made to the installation
- When any maintenance has been done on an installation
- When the property is being sold
How often must a gas installation be serviced?
It should be inspected and serviced every 5 years.
