Since 1 December 2012 all new, upgraded and repaired (major repairs) electric fence installations in
South Africa must be compliant to SANS 10222-3. From 1 October 2013, all electric fence installers had to
be registered with the Department of Labour after first passing a tough exam.
In Sandton's security estates — Bryanston, Morningside, Rivonia and Benmore Gardens — a valid COC is often required by the estate itself or by insurers on high-value properties, not just at the point of sale. Our electric fence COC in Sandton involves an inspection, then a certificate of compliance once the fence complies.
Why does an electric fence installation require a
compliance certificate? Well, how many times have you
heard
people say that electric fence does not work?
The reason for this, in most cases is that the installation
was
not done correctly, or due to the lack of regular electric
fence maintenance the fence condition has deteriorated so much
that
the system does not work properly any more.
How do you as a property owner in Sandton know if your electric fence is
working as it should? Will the alarm sound if one of the wires are cut? Will the alarm sound if wires are
touching? Is the voltage in your electric fence sufficiently high enough?
We have found many electric fence installations where
the energizer is ticking and that is it as far as “the
fence is working” is concerned.
The new legislation makes it basically impossible to have an electric fence installed that does not do what
it
is designed for. An electric fence COC in Sandton is proof that your system works properly.
There are many aspects on an electric fence that has to comply to legislation. From the energizer having its
own
earth mat, having lightning arrestors installed to having the correct amount of earth spikes and warning
signs
on the electric fence, also the gate electric fence on a sliding gate must form part of the circuit of the
electric fence. On Sandton's double-gate estate entrances, we check that both gate contacts form part of the fence circuit correctly, a common compliance gap on larger properties.
We take pride in our work and will make sure that your electric fence is up to standard and working 100% as
it
should when we do an electric fence compliance
certificate.
