What people cannot seem to realise is that the electrical COC can be likend to their car COF. When a car changes ownership it must be recertified as fit to use on a public road. The COC serves the same function re an electrical installation. Should a car be pulled over @ a roadblock and found to have any faults in obvious contravention, the disc will be removed and that car must be tested again. If you buy a car without brakes and you are not informed thereof and you have a fatal accident driving away, the seller can face culpable homicide charges. Using an uncertified electrical installation is the same as driving a car which does not have a COF. The COC must be seen as equivalent to a car COF. The only people who do not want to have the book thrown @ their electrical installations are the sellers, as with the COF they are quite prepared to pay someone off to give an invalid one. Buyers must take a stand and insist that they use their own electricians to certify their new purchases. If the purchaser does not have an electrician he can Google for one and if he fancies a reputable one because of his advert, that contractor will willing supply references. Websites listing complaints about contractors can also be usefull to find a reputable contractor.
