Why this matters for South Africa trades
Electrical work legally requires Department of Employment & Labour registration (registered persons issue the mandatory Certificate of Compliance); gas work requires SAQCC Gas registration (unregistered work voids home insurance); PIRB plumbing CoCs are required for geysers and solar water heaters; CIDB grading gates public construction; NHBRC registration is mandatory for home builders; and employers need a current COIDA Letter of Good Standing for site access.
South African trades vendor selection is shaped by Certificate-of-Compliance culture (electrical CoCs via DoEL-registered persons, SAQCC Gas, PIRB plumbing CoCs), CIDB contractor grading (1–9) gating public work, NHBRC registration for home builders, SARS compliance (15% VAT, monthly EMP201, e-invoicing phasing in ~2026–28), the COIDA Letter of Good Standing — and the solar-installation boom the load-shedding era created.
