ELECTRIC FENCE COC · OLIVEDALE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Can a family member arrange an electric fence compliance certificate inspection?+
Yes, with the appropriate property authority and access arranged. Explain the relationship and identify who should receive the findings. For a shared fence, involve the managing contact before commissioning work.
Where should an electric fence certificate of compliance be kept?+
Retain it with the property’s installation and repair records. Make sure the responsible owner or manager can retrieve it when needed, even if a different family member handles the next enquiry.
Is your electric fence alarming and upsetting a resident?+
Keep the resident away from the equipment and report the symptoms to Wesslink. Electric fence fault finding can assess the problem. Do not ask a helper to bypass the fence or change unfamiliar settings to silence it.
Can a fence inspection include alterations made after the old certificate?+
Tell Wesslink what changed and provide any repair or installation records. The inspection needs to consider the current fence, including retained sections and later additions.
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.
