PLUMBING COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR OCCUPANCY CERTIFICATES

Posted on by midvaal_marketing1

Dear Midvaal residents

Midvaal Local Municipality has standardised its approach to plumbing compliance for issuing Certificates of Occupancy.

  • The Plumbing Industry Registration Board (PIRB) and the Institute of Plumbing South Africa (IOPSA) are voluntary, non-statutory bodies.
  • Their Certificates of Compliance (COCs) are not mandatory unless required by a formal Council policy, bylaw, or contractual obligation.

Accepted plumbing compliance evidence includes:

  • A certified trade qualification (e.g., National Certificate in Plumbing);
  • Proof of trade test/apprenticeship completion;
  • Municipal registration as a qualified plumber (if applicable).

PIRB/IOPSA COCs may be submitted as supporting documents, but cannot be enforced as a requirement.

  • For consistency and fairness, all building inspectors will apply this standard uniformly.

Should you have any concerns or questions

kindly contact your Ward Councillor or

Mr. Kagiso Rasepae (0163607415)

Yours in service excellence.

The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, said the following during his opening remarks: “This occasion marks the culmination of hard work by the sixty-two young people who will receive their certificates today. We celebrate the unwavering commitment of our young people who embraced the opportunities before them. Despite the challenges they face, they dedicated themselves to completing this programme, equipping themselves with invaluable skills that will empower their future. What these young people have achieved will not only benefit them and their families but will also make a meaningful contribution to our communities.”
Midvaal Local Municipality will continue to work to create opportunities for all and bring opportunities directly to Midvaal’s youth, ensuring they have the skills and resources needed to build a sustainable future.
