ELECTRIC FENCE COC · WITKOPPEN
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Can I move bent fence wires out of the driveway?+
Keep clear and arrange appropriate assistance. Damaged wires or equipment may remain live, and clearing access should not involve handling them yourself.
Is your electric fence alarming after boundary impact?+
Report the indication and visible damage from a safe position. Do not reset repeatedly or manipulate the damaged section to stop the warning.
When can an electric fence certificate of compliance be considered?+
Discuss the required assessment once the relevant supporting work and fence corrections are planned. The final installation must meet the applicable requirements after inspection.
Will the repair report guarantee an insurance claim?+
No. Ask for accurate findings and completed-work records, and discuss cover and claim requirements with the insurer or broker. The technical report should remain factual.
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.
