plumber. The various categories in terms of the CoC are
denoted on the Certificate, and the plumber will define
the specific work carried out on site, for example:
1. New build: all categories of work done and then
specified what was done; or
2. Repair/replacement/solar installation: the plumber
will issue solely on work carried out.
The PIRB certificate was not designed for use on the sale
of property — the issuing plumber may be held liable
for any areas of non-compliance not noted. Instances
have occurred where a registered plumber has certified
and not listed the areas of non-compliance and was therefore held
liable. The standards are very specific in terms of the responsibility of
the plumber; they must advise the owner of any non-compliance in
writing. With the inclusion of the checklist, this will alleviate uncertainty
in terms of non-compliance and defective areas. It is to be noted that
only a registered PIRB plumber may issue a PIRB CoC. PA
