VEDN Auditing
 

The Victorian Electrical Distribution Networks (VEDN) is a committee of the Victorian Electricity Supply Industry (VESI). The VEDN creates a single standard for requirements across the five Victorian Distribution Businesses. Its purpose is to certify civil contractors working in underground electrical infrastructure:

  • Excavations

  • Boring

  • Trenching

  • Cable hauling

  • Installation of conduits/ducts

  • Installation of earthing systems

VEDN Approved Civil Contractors

Accredited contractors must meet the VEDN requirements for the installation of underground electrical civil works. These include:

  • Integrated management system

  • Trained employees

  • Inspection and test procedures

  • Worksite and system audits

Civil contractors seeking VEDN Accreditation must have an integrated Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality Management System that contains the necessary VEDN Network special requirements.  

Our auditors are industry experts and highly experienced. They can guide you through the VEDN accreditation process from pre-qualification through to ongoing accreditation, including:

  • Initial Registration

  • Review and gap analysis of your management system (new clients)

  • Initial and ongoing management system review and auditing to ensure you continue to meet VEDN requirements

  • Preparation and submission of audits and information to meet VEDN certification requirements

  • Provide a Certificate of Accreditation once the submission is approved by VEDN.
