Failure by the user to obtain an electric fence compliance certificate where an addition or alteration has been effected or where there has been a change of ownership of the premises on which the system exists (if the change took place after 1 October 2012) could result in a fine or a prison sentence. In terms of the reg 24 of the Electrical Machinery Regulations, any person who contravenes or fails to comply with any of the provisions of reg 12 shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine or to imprisonment for a maximum of 12 months and, in case of a continuous offence, to an additional fine of R 200 for each day on which the offence continues or additional imprisonment of one day for each day on which the offence continues:
Provided that the period of such additional imprisonment shall not exceed 90 days
The other problem relates to the COC itself, which must be updated in certain circumstances, they have been added to or altered, there is a change of ownership of the premises.
Where tenants lease a property.
The certificate is however transferable: Once it has been issued, there is no need to obtain a new one on a change of ownership.
In summary:
• A sectional title owner need not obtain a certificate. Following a change in ownership of a sectional unit, a body corporate should obtain a certificate.
• Unless a sale agreement provides otherwise, the purchaser of a property must obtain a certificate.
• A landlord should obtain a certificate for leased property.
