In South Africa, an Electric Fence Certificate of Compliance (COC) is a mandatory document proving an electric fence installation meets safety regulations outlined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 and SANS 10222-3.
What it is:
- An Electric Fence COC is an official document that certifies an electric fence installation is compliant with South African regulations.
- It ensures the fence is installed and maintained safely, preventing potential harm to people or animals.
- The COC is required for new installations, alterations, or when selling a property with an electric fence.
Why it's needed:
- Safety:
Ensures the electric fence is installed correctly and safely, preventing potential shocks or injuries.
- Legal Compliance:
The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993) and SANS 10222-3: Electric Security Fencing Part 3 govern the requirements for electric fence installations.
- Property Transactions:
A COC is required when selling a property with an electric fence, demonstrating to potential buyers that the fence is safe and compliant.
- Liability:
Without a valid COC, property owners could face legal and financial consequences if an injury or incident occurs due to a non-compliant electric fence.
Who needs it:
- Property owners with electric fences, especially after October 1, 2012, when the regulations were updated.
- Anyone who alters or upgrades an existing electric fence after October 1, 2012.
- Property owners selling a property with an electric fence.
How to obtain a COC:
For residents and businesses based in Johannesburg, contact Stemar Security Systems for Electric Fence Installations, Repairs and Compliance Certificates.

- A registered and qualified electric fence installer must inspect the electric fence and issue the COC.
- The installer needs to have completed a registered EWSETA approved course to be qualified to issue a COC.
- You can find registered installers through organizations like Nemtek Training Academy or Stafix Electric Fence Centres.
Key points to remember:
- An electric fence COC is a separate requirement from an electrical compliance certificate.
- Property owners should ensure they have a valid COC for their electric fence to avoid legal and financial risks.
- If you are unsure about the requirements or need to obtain a COC, contact a registered electric fence installer.
