Electrical Compliance for Your Property
An Electrical Certificate of Compliance is based on the condition and safety of the electrical installation at the time it is inspected and tested. The objective is to identify electrical defects or non-compliant work that needs attention before certification can be issued by the appropriately registered person.
Electrical Inspection & Testing
The electrical installation is inspected and tested to assess relevant components such as wiring, distribution boards, circuit protection, earthing and other parts of the installation for compliance with applicable requirements.
Identifying & Correcting Non-Compliant Work
If defects or non-compliant electrical work are identified, the necessary corrective work can be established. Once the required repairs or alterations have been completed, the affected installation can be retested as required.
Electrical COC Certification
Once the electrical installation satisfies the applicable requirements, an Electrical Certificate of Compliance can be issued by the appropriately registered person, providing formal documentation of the installation’s compliance at the time of inspection and testing.

Our Electrical Certificate of Compliance Process
Our Electrical Certificate of Compliance process is designed to identify electrical safety concerns, establish whether corrective work is required and ensure the installation is properly inspected and tested before certification.
1. Electrical Inspection & Assessment
The electrical installation is inspected to assess its condition and identify visible defects, potential safety concerns and areas requiring further testing.
2. Electrical Testing & Compliance Checks
Relevant circuits, DB boards, protection devices, earthing and other components are tested and checked against the applicable electrical requirements.
3. Corrective Work & Final Certification
If non-compliant or unsafe electrical work is identified, the required repairs are established and completed where authorised. Once the installation meets the applicable requirements, the Electrical Certificate of Compliance can be issued by the appropriately registered person.

Electrical compliance is about more than obtaining a certificate. Our approach prioritises the safety of people and property, identifying electrical risks and ensuring that compliance issues are properly addressed before certification.
