Why You Need a Gas Certificate of Compliance
A Gas CoC isn't just paperwork—it's essential protection for your property, family, and financial interests.
Property Sales
If you're selling property with a gas installation, South African law requires a valid Gas CoC no older than 3 months. This protects the buyer and ensures you meet all legal obligations.
Insurance Protection
Insurance companies require a valid Gas CoC to cover gas-related claims. Without one, your policy may be void. Many insurers require annual inspections for coverage.
Family Safety
Ensure your gas installation is genuinely safe with professional testing. Undetected leaks pose serious health risks including carbon monoxide exposure.
Legal Compliance
The Pressure Equipment Regulations (under OHSA 85 of 1993) mandate permanent gas installations must have a valid CoC. Non-compliance can result in liability issues.
Peace of Mind
Know that your gas system has been professionally inspected and meets all safety standards. A current CoC provides ongoing assurance everything is working correctly.
Regular Maintenance
Periodic inspections help identify potential issues before they become dangerous. We recommend inspections every 5 years to maintain safety and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about your Gas Certificate of Compliance? We've got answers.
Most inspections take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your gas installation. Larger systems with multiple appliances may take longer. We'll give you an estimate when you book your appointment.
If your installation doesn't meet safety standards, we'll provide a detailed report outlining the issues. We'll give you an on-site quote for remedial work. If you approve, we'll fix the problems and reissue your Gas CoC at no additional certificate cost.
The Gas Association recommends inspections every 5 years to maintain an up-to-date certificate. For property sales, a CoC no older than 3 months is required. Some insurance companies require annual inspections—check your policy.
The Gas Association has transitioned to digital certificates. You'll receive your digital Gas CoC immediately after inspection, along with a detailed inspection report. This is registered with the Department of Labour's appointed body.
There's no official temporary Gas CoC. However, if your installation is being serviced and we're confident it will become compliant soon, we can issue a conditional certificate indicating work is in progress. The final certificate is issued once all work is complete.
No, the Gas CoC only covers permanent gas installations. Portable appliances like BBQs, patio heaters, and portable indoor heaters are not included in the inspection. These are typically removed by the seller during a property transaction.
Gas bottles themselves are not covered by the Gas CoC. However, the pipe work connecting your bottles and any issues with bottle placement or safety distances are part of our inspection. If bottles don't meet safety requirements, we'll recommend replacements.
Yes, many insurance companies require a valid Gas CoC for coverage. Without one, they may refuse to cover gas-related claims or even void your entire policy. We strongly recommend getting your Gas CoC to protect your insurance coverage.
