Good day Gents.
Herewith the arrogant reply of the offending electrician.
Apologies for the Afrikaans. I would loathe to read this again, nevermind translate this.
I guess i have no option but to report this individual to the ECA , and hope they deal with him accordingly.
Goeie naand Almal,
Dit wil vir my voorkom asof xxxx maar net besig is om ander besig te hou met allerhande verslaggies ens.en dat sy nie werklik weet waaroor sy graag wil kla nie
Ek wil op rekord plaas dat ek n Meester Installasie Elektrisien is en ook n lid van ECASA, dan is ek ook n Elektrotegniese Ingeneur en n lid van Die "Engineering Councill of South Africa.
Dit sal dus nie werk om met boelie tegnieke by my te kom nie, Ek ken die wet asook die elektriese regulasie en SANS 10142-1" en veele ander SANS regulasies.
Hoekom noem jy nie die hoog geplaaste van ECSA se naam nie, dan kommunikeer ek sommer direk met hom
Julle moet net onthou dat jy nie net na een of twee paragrawe in die regulasies kan kyk nie.
Ek heg graag n paar regulasie aan, en as iemand n teenstelling het laat hom of haar hulself identifiseer, met hul kwalifikasies want ons is nou besig om te reageer oor dinge wat sy gehoor het. Jy kan nie in n hof gaan staan met dinge wat jy gehoor het nie, en dan wil maak asof dit feite is nie
Ek wil ook se dat toe xxxxx my eendag geskakel het het hy sommer begin deur te vertel dat hy nie weet met wie hy praat nie, hy het my ook sommer drek aangeval soos jy nou maak en daarom stel ek nie belang in jul stories nie
Daar staan nerens in die regulasie dat n afskrif van die oorspronklike COC saam met my COC ingedien moet word nie, slegs die nommer en datum van oorspronklike COC moet ingevul word, ek het die COC gesien en is seker dat Marelise vir jou n afskrif sal gee om jou te pamperlang
Marelise tree op as n professioneele Prokureer en met enige elektrisiteits raad adviseer ek haar in my hoedanigheid as n elektriese ingeneur en kan jy glad nie iemand dwing om te doen wat nie nodig is om te doen nie.
Ek stel voor as jy nog nie tevrede is nie, om my hof toe te neem.
Ek gaan jou ook nie verder akkommodeer met allerhande eposte van jou af nie en ook geen meer korrespondensie van my af nie.
Ek het geteken dat "I deem the installation to be reasonably safe when properly used
en ek staan daarby.
Beste groete,
kb

Comments are my opinion, unless regulations are attached to support the comment. This is social media, not a court room.

Well, one thing is clear. He is not interested in making good.
One would have expected a more professional approach from someone with his qualifications and membership of the organizations he refers to.
With your photographic evidence and a copy of the interaction you have had with members of this forum, who are all suitably qualified to voice their opinion, you should get some form of assistance from the ECA, but bare in mind that all organizations, irrespective of which one, have their members best interests at heart, so it won't be a walk in the park.
It might just be worth your while to get someone else to rectify the faults, issue a valid COC, so that you have the peace of heart you need.
Good luck.

He is referring to regulations on the fixing of cables in a roof space and we discussing a joint which the regulations posted higher up in the thread clearly state , prevent strain
Report it to ECA offices , lets see if he is actually a member , and then let us know what the reply is , I am interested to see what process they follow and the results

Seems like one of those who refer to the attic as an enclosure and hi's ladder is the tool he uses to open it.

Hey gents,passed along all the info related to the COC to a ECA gent, that was referred to me.
Thx to all who contribute!!! I will keep you posted!
ps. I have yet to post on this forum regarding the COC this individual has done on the Electric fencing.
This fence also barely works, and there are some glaring shortcomings with safety standards etc.
Thinking of starting a thread on it asap. Haven't sent this to him as yet, I am waiting for the company to fix the address they listed incorrectly.
It is so hard to get good help these days.
Present company excluded!!!!
