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.
