The Plumbing Industry Registration Board (Pirb) Certificate of Compliance (C.O.C) is designed for a licensed plumber to self-certify their plumbing work by issuing a plumbing certificate of compliance to the owner, municipality, or insurance company. By issuing a Plumbing C.O.C, the licensed plumber shall take ownership of the plumbing work and be held accountable for the plumbing installation.
Plumbing Certificates of Compliance are issued by licensed plumbers to certify that plumbing installations comply with all regulatory installation requirements.
It is illegal for any person to work on a plumbing installation if not a qualified plumber or not working under the supervision of a qualified plumber. Registered persons under the category of qualified plumbers are qualified plumbers and may carry out plumbing works and may supervise non-qualified plumbers or plumbing learners. However, they will not be allowed to purchase or issue Plumbing Certificate Compliance for plumbing installations.
A plumber who is suitably qualified and accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority must certify that:
• the hot water cylinder complies with SANS 10252 and 10254
• the water meter registers
• there are no water leaks
• water pipes and, terminal fittings are correctly fixed in position,
• no stormwater is discharged
• there is no cross-connection between potable supply and any greywater or groundwater system which may be installed.

• The installation, repair or replacement of any Electric Water Heating System, regardless of the cost
• For every separate installation on a site.
• The construction, installation or alteration of any above or below-ground sanitary drain; regardless of the cost
• The installation, repair or replacement of any Hot Water Solar Water Heating System
• The installation, repair or replacement of any Heat Pump Water Heating System
• A Plumbing certificate of compliance shall be issued to the relevant owner within five working days of the completion of the said plumbing works. Only a licensed plumber may purchase and issue compliance certificates.
