First of all you will need to directly ask your electrician if he/she is a registered master or installation electrician and for their registration numbers for themselves and their business.
To verify the above, you can:
Visit the website of the Electrical Conformance Board of South Africa (ECBSA) – https://electrician.org.za/ – and search for your electrician there. The ECB SA is the official regulatory body for electricians in South Africa.
Enter the necessary details to perform the search. This may include the electrician’s name, registration number, or other identifying information.
OR
Visit and search the members of the Electrical Contractors Association of South Africa (ECA SA) – http://search.ecasa.co.za/ – and search there. PLEASE NOTE: The ECA SA is the largest voluntary association for Electrical Contractors and as such carries a lot of weight in the industry along with being more up to date than other associations.
VERY NB: It is always best practice to confirm your search results from official sources and verify the information provided via the phone numbers for the two associations or via email.
