THROUGHOUT 2021, gas practitioners will be switching to using an electronic system to issue gas COCs (Certificate of Competence) to the end-user.
The dynamics of the COC App
All registered Gas Practitioners will have access to the electronic COC according to their skill and scope of work which they have been registered for.
How to log into the APP
You will be required to enter the following information:
- South Africa ID/Passport
- Password (This is generated when you register an account)
Once logged in, if the Gas Practitioner is registered with one association, they will have access to the COC for that specific Association. However, if the gas practitioner has multiple qualifications and is registered with more than one association, they will have access to all the relevant skills’ category for COCs. The gas practitioner will then click on the relevant association that regulates the installation and gas work completed.
If a Gas Practitioner was assigned several COCs and their registration expires, they will no longer be able to issue those COCs.
Purchasing a COC
Gas Practitioners who are employed with a particular gas contracting company will not have a “Purchase COC” button. This is because each company will administrate the purchase and then allocate the COCs to the gas practitioner’s account.
Creating and Issuing a COC to the end-user
Step 1: The Gas Practitioner will register their details on the SAQCC Gas App
Step 2: The type of equipment installed, modified, repaired or maintained will be specified (description of work completed)
Step 3: There will be the option to upload picture of the work completed
Step 4: Signature Panel- Gas Practitioner signature and Customer signature (with geographic location and date automatically set)
Recipients of the COC
The following parties will each receive a copy of the COC:
- Customer
- Gas Practitioner
- Contractor company
- The relevant Association
- SAQCC Gas
If for some reason, the gas practitioner loses internet connection while filling out the COC on the App, the COC can still be completed while offline or saved to be finished later.
When a Gas Practitioner acquires additional skills and qualification, they can have their scope of work updated on the system.
