ELECTRIC FENCE COC · LOUWLARDIA
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming during a yard extension?+
Report the alert and the work taking place nearby to the responsible manager. Electric fence fault finding should be coordinated with the contractors on site. Do not let workers handle wires or improvise connections to keep the project moving.
Can an electric fence compliance certificate be issued before the extension is finished?+
Explain the actual stage of work and the document required. Certification depends on the relevant installation being inspected and tested; do not represent an unfinished alteration as completed.
Who should organise security while the boundary is open?+
The responsible site or security manager should plan the temporary arrangements. Discuss the fence contractor’s work separately and do not assume a repair or installation booking includes guarding or monitoring.
Can the existing fence be retained around the new yard?+
Ask for the retained equipment and proposed layout to be assessed. Reuse may be considered from the findings, but the old arrangement should not simply be extended without checking its suitability.
What should the facilities team receive at handover?+
Keep the completed layout description, repair and installation records, and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued after the required checks. Explain which equipment and sections changed so later maintenance starts from the current arrangement.
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.
