Electric Fence Certificate of Compliance (COC)
Requirements in South Africa
An electric fence certificate of compliance confirms that a certified electric fence meets the required safety and regulation standard set out in South Africa. This certificate of compliance is a legal requirement for any property with an electric fence, especially during property transactions.
Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the property owner must ensure the fence is installed and maintained in line with SANS 10222-3 and other applicable laws and regulations. A fence certificate of compliance (COC) must be issued by an installer registered with the department of labour to confirm the system is safe for use.
Failure to comply can result in legal liability, insurance claim rejections, or even a fine or penalty where the system places occupants at risk of injury or electric shock.

Our Electric Fence Installer Process
to Issue a Valid Certificate of Compliance (COC)
Our electric fence installer process ensures every system is assessed under stringent compliance scrutiny before we issue a COC.
Inspection
We inspect the full electric fence system, including energizers, wire integrity, hardware, and all major components.
Testing
We carry out tests to ensure the system performs safely and meets the required standard.
Fault identification
Any non-compliant or failing elements are identified.
Repairs and upgrades
We install or replace faulty components and bring the system up to compliance.
Certification
Once the system is compliant, we certify the installation and issue a valid electric fence certificate of compliance.
All work is completed by a registered electric fence installer accredited through EWSETA approved training pathways, including RPL (recognition of prior learning), ensuring each installer is found competent through the required module and coc course structure.
What Your Electric Fence Installation Must Meet Before a COC Certificate Is Issued
Before we can issue a valid certificate, the electric fence installation must meet strict safety and regulation requirements.
Key compliance checks include:
- Energizers functioning correctly
- Correct spacing and placement of wire
- Proper warning signs installed
- System earthing and electrical safety
- All hardware secure and correctly installed
Every electric fence system must be installed correctly and maintained to prevent risk. A non-compliant system can expose the property owner to legal liability and safety risks.
We ensure the installation complies with SANS 10222-3 and meets the standard required for a valid electric fence.
