How the ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard Works
The workings of the ISO 50001 standard are set out in the steps below. For deeper information or to start an ISO 50001 certification, contact Sistem Patent Kalite, the ISO 50001 certification and testing consultancy.
ISO 50001 operates as follows:
- ISO 50001 provides a framework for energy management in the organisation
- Developing policy on energy performance
- Setting objectives that deliver on the policy
- Using data related to energy use
- Measuring results
- Measuring the effectiveness of the policy
- Continuous development of energy management
What Each Step Looks Like in the Plant
The framework sits on top of the site's existing operations. Policy is written to commit senior management to specific, measurable improvement targets. Objectives break that policy into numbers that the plant can track. Data comes from meters, SCADA, billing records, and equipment logs, and is brought into a single view so measurement is consistent. Continuous development is the improvement cycle that keeps the savings compounding year over year.
