Energy management System Certification: ISO 50001

Enable organizations to establish the necessary systems and processes for improving energy performance, particularly in relation to efficiency, use, and energy consumption.

Lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and energy-related costs.

The ISO 50001 standard defines precise requirements for an energy management system (EnMS), allowing an organization to:

Develop and implement a more effective energy policy

Establish objectives, targets, and action plans to meet the commitments expressed in this policy

Measure the results of this energy policy based on data

Take the necessary measures to continuously improve its energy performance.

It contributes to the implementation of a continuous improvement process, which will result in more efficient use of available energy sources, better competitiveness, and a reduction in greenhouse gases. It encourages the implementation of an energy monitoring plan as well as energy analyses.

Who is ISO 50001: Energy Management for?

Energy producers, energy-consuming companies, public or para-public organizations (energy management: boiler rooms), social landlords (management of building complexes), Directors or Site Managers for small structures.

Modalities for obtaining ISO 50001 certification

ISO 50001 certification is a voluntary process. Nevertheless, to present yourself for certification under the best conditions, facilitate its obtainment, and better meet the requirements of the ISO 50001 standard, we recommend:

that your energy management system has been active for 6 months

that it has been internally audited at least once

that a management review has been carried out

This certification is for organizations of all types and sizes, regardless of geographical, cultural, and social conditions.

The benefits of ISO 50001: Energy Management standard

Here are all the benefits you can gain from the ISO 50001 standard:

Identification of energy saving potentials

Implementation of an action plan

Improvement of energy efficiency and use

Reduction of energy consumption and costs

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

Involvement of all personnel in a unifying project

The certification of your energy management system (EnMS) according to the ISO 50001 standard allows you to demonstrate that you comply with the energy efficiency policy you have set.

ISO 50001 certification can only be issued by an accredited certification body such as Apave Certification.
