ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ERASMIA
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming near a tenant’s entrance?+
Ask for the alert wording and time and tell Wesslink about any entrance changes. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the actual installation. Do not assume the tenant, gate or new wall is the cause before inspection.
Does each occupier need a separate electric fence compliance certificate?+
Identify the installation or installations first. Separate households do not automatically establish separate fence systems. Provide the existing records so the appropriate inspection and documentation can be discussed.
Can a fence inspector decide where the property boundary is?+
A compliance inspection does not settle ownership or a boundary dispute. Resolve those matters through the appropriate property process and provide the agreed work area before requesting alterations.
Can I authorise repairs on behalf of another owner?+
Make the authority clear when you enquire and provide the responsible contact. Access permission and permission to approve repairs should both be understood before work is undertaken.
What record should follow approved alterations?+
Keep the completed-work description and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued after the required inspection and tests. The records should describe the resulting installation so future occupiers can understand what serves their areas.
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.
