Gas COC (Certificate of Compliance)
Requirements for LPG Installation
A gas COC is a certificate of compliance confirming that the installation is compliant and safe for use. Gas installations must meet strict safety standards defined by the Pressure Equipment Regulations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The certificate confirms that the gas system, including gas piping, gas bottles, cylinder connections, and appliance setup, is leak-free and correctly installed. This applies to systems connected to a stove, braai, geyser, or patio heaters.
Installations must have a certificate issued by a registered gas installer to confirm compliance. Without a valid gas certificate, the system may pose serious health and safety risks, including leak or explosive hazards.
Need a Gas Certificate?
We Inspect, Test and Issue a Gas Compliance Certificate
If you need a gas certificate, we arrange for a gas inspector to inspect your installation and assess all gas equipment and appliance connections.
We inspect key areas including gas bottles, valve connections, flexible gas hoses, and cylinder positioning. The goal is to ensure the system is safe, leak-free, and aligned with safety standards.
Where issues are found, we guide you through remedial work or repair so the installation can become compliant. Once all requirements are met, we proceed with issuing a COC and confirm that the installation is compliant.

What Your Gas Installation Must Meet Before a Certificate of Compliance Is Issued
Before we can issue a certificate, the installation must comply with all applicable requirements.
Key checks include:
- Gas piping and valve connections
- Correct installation of appliance such as hobs, stove, and braai
- Secure placement of gas bottles and cylinder systems
- Proper ventilation and positioning
- Use of SABS-approved equipment
The installation must be covered by the gas safety association of southern africa guidelines and align with the liquefied petroleum gas safety association standards.
Any non-compliance must be resolved before certification. This ensures the installation is safe and reduces the risk of property damage or gas incident.
Temporary Gas COC, New Gas Installation and Certificate Validity Explained
In some cases, a temporary gas COC may be issued for a portable or temporary setup, while a permanent gas installation requires full certification.
A valid coc is required for property transaction and change of ownership, and coc must be updated if any alteration is made to the installation.
The validity of the certificate depends on whether the installation remains unchanged. If modifications are made, a new gas certificate is required.

We coordinate with installers registered with the Safety Association of Southern Africa and trained under recognised standards. This ensures the installation is compliant and meets all safety expectations.
