Gas & Electricity Public Safety Certification (NZS 7901)

Preventing harm to both the public and property is crucial to the energy industry. The onus is on gas and electricity providers to deliver consistent assessment, development and reporting via a safety management system (SMS).

The NZS 7901 standard covers electricity generation, transmission and distribution, gas distribution, and network operation. NZS 7901 focuses on identifying potential areas of harm to the public, or potential damage to public property.

Telarc worked closely with the Electricity Engineers Association and Gas Association of New Zealand to develop the audit tool for NZS 7901. As New Zealand’s only accredited certifier for NZS 7901, we can ensure that your safety management system meets the NZS 7901 standard.
