- Electrical additions or alterations after a previous certificate can trigger fresh certification requirements.
- LPG gas installations require compliant installation and certification under the pressure-equipment framework.
- Electric-fence, water or wood-destroying-insect certificates may also be relevant depending on the property, region and contract.
