What is ISO 50001:2018?
ISO 50001 : 2018 is an internationally recognised standard that lays out requirements to which an organisation must adhere, to demonstrate that it’s energy management practices are managed within a framework committed to continually improving the organisation’s energy efficiency. The framework is commonly referred to as an energy management system (EnMS). As ISO 50001 : 2018 is an internationally recognised standard, most energy management systems are based on its requirements.
It is worth noting that if your ISO 50001 : 2018 Certified Energy Management covers 90% or more of your organisation’s overall energy consumption, you will be exempt from having to undergo an ESOS audit!
The standard focuses on how your organisation;
- Controls important documentation and records,
- Continually identifies, manages and reduces it’s significant energy uses,
- Complies with energy related legal obligations,
- Reviews internal processes.
