NZS 7901 Gas & Electricity Public Safety Certification Telarc

Public safety is paramount. Under law, all larger gas or electricity suppliers must meet the NZS 7901 public safety standard. As the only accredited certifier for this safety management system, Telarc can help you gain NZS 7901 certification.

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.

Telarc’s expert team will make the experience of attaining NZS 7901 Public Safety certification easy.

How to achieve certification

Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.

The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.

Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.
