The purpose of an energy management system (EnMS) is to enable organizations to establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy performance, including energy efficiency, use and consumption. Implementing an EnMS is intended to lead to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and other related environmental impacts and energy cost through systematic management of energy. ISO 50001 requires organization to establish an energy policy, objectives, targets, and action plans which take into account legal requirements and information related to significant energy use.
The ISO 50001:2018 edition is based on the ISO Annex SL structure. It introduces the concept of context of organization and enhances meeting relevant interested parties requirements. It consists of the following clauses:
- Clause 4 Context of the organization
- Clause 5 Leadership
- Clause 6 Planning
- Clause 7 Support
- Clause 8 Operation
- Clause 9 Performance evaluation
- Clause 10 Improvement
(ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001)
ISO 50001 is a requirement standard which means organizations can be certified to it. It is generic in nature and is applicable to organizations of various sizes and background.
In order to capitalize on the full offer of ISO 50001, organizations shall acquire an accurate understanding of the requirements and the intent of the standard. Perform a gap analysis to determine the status of the organization compared to the certification requirements. From top management to front line staff, all levels of staff shall acquire an appropriate level of understanding of the standard. Top management commitment is a critical success factor. Work on a realistic plan and not the least, ensure a strong staff buy-in.
