Abstract
This Standard provides nationally consistent requirements for the development of an Electricity Network Safety Management System (ENSMS) by an Electricity Network Operator. An ENSMS is used to define how the Network Operator ensures the safe design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of its electricity network.
Scope
This Standard provides nationally consistent requirements for the development of an
Electricity Network Safety Management System (ENSMS) by an Electricity Network Operator. An ENSMS is used to define how the Network Operator manages the safe design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of its electricity network.
The electricity supply networks to which this Standard applies are electricity transmission
networks and electricity distribution networks.
This Standard exists to provide an overarching framework for an ENSMS that recognizes
relevant industry network engineering, technical and safety standards, codes and guidelines.
While this Standard has been developed for electricity supply networks, it is recognized that it may be used in relation to the safety of railway electricity networks. Before using this
Standard for an electrified railway system, a rail system operator has to review the Standard
to determine the Standard’s suitability and applicability to the operator’s rail system.
This Standard applies to electricity generation facilities that are installed and operated by
the Network Operator as part of its electricity network. These include, but are not limited
to, the following:
(a) Permanent embedded generation facilities.
(b) Temporary embedded generation facilities.
(c) Emergency generators.
This Standard also applies to powerlines that are owned by and are the connection assets of
generation facilities and that are located on land that is outside the boundary of the site on
which these generation facilities are installed.
This Standard does not apply to any customer’s installation or to plant, appliances and
generation equipment within a customer’s installation.
