ELECTRIC FENCE COC · MAGALIESSIG
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming after rain?+
Record the time, message and visible conditions without approaching wires or opening wet equipment. Assessment should establish the relevant cause before repairs or replacement parts are prescribed.
Can an electric fence certificate of compliance be issued while access is waterlogged?+
Explain the conditions before attendance. The required installation assessment needs safe access, and any inaccessible section must be addressed appropriately rather than assumed checked.
Should I clear a drain beside the fence first?+
Do not work near damaged or energised fence equipment to prepare the visit. Describe the situation so the responsible contractors can coordinate safe access and any separately required drainage work.
Can the fence contractor confirm structural damage to the wall?+
Report the concern so the appropriate structural or building assessment can be arranged where needed. Electrical fence work and supporting-structure repairs should be coordinated, with each responsibility clearly understood.
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.
