Plumbing COC
Requirements in South Africa
A plumbing COC is a compliance certificate that confirms all plumbing installations on a property meet South African regulations. The plumbing certificate of compliance is not just a piece of paper, it verifies that the plumbing work done complies with SANS 10254 and other national standards.
In South Africa’s property sales process, a COC is required before transfer. The homeowner must ensure that all plumbing installations, including geyser systems, drainage systems, and water installation components, comply with regulations.
The certificate is issued by a PIRB-registered plumber in line with the Plumbing Industry Registration Board requirements. This ensures the work complies with plumbing standards and provides peace of mind that the system is safe and compliant.
