ISO 50001:2018
Energy efficiency management system
A very interesting and useful system. This certificate is very often required when approving some incentives from the EU. Using energy efficiently helps organizations save money, helping to conserve resources and address climate change. ISO 50001 supports organizations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently, through the development of energy management systems (EnMS).
Specification
ISO 50001: 2018 provides a framework of requirements for an organization to:
develops a policy for more efficient energy use. Define targets to meet this policy. Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use. Measure results. Review how the policy works and continuously improves energy management.
ISO 50001 is based on a management system model that is continuously improved and is used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management.
