ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ATHOLL
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Does a security subscription include an electric fence certificate of compliance?+
Do not assume that it does. Ask for the actual fence document and check which installation it describes. A subscription for patrols or response is a different record from an inspection certificate.
Is your electric fence alarming when there is no visible damage?+
Send the recorded times, display message and any recent changes to the system. Electric fence fault finding needs the actual equipment checked; there is no need to touch wires, disconnect a section or repeat a fault to prove that it occurs.
Should the alarm company attend the inspection?+
Tell us whether the fence has a monitored connection and who looks after it. The appropriate coordination depends on that installation and the work planned. We do not assume or promise an appointment with a particular provider.
Can I arrange a certificate after a gate repair?+
Yes, describe the gate work and whether fence wires or cables were moved. Make the relevant records available so the inspector can assess the resulting installation and explain any remaining corrections before a certificate is issued.
Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?+
A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.
Will the inspection fee include repairs?+
Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
