ISO 50001 Implementation: What the Company Needs in Place

What the Company Needs in Place for ISO 50001

To build an ISO 50001 energy management system inside the company, a number of elements have to be in place. Sistem Patent Kalite, as the ISO 50001 certification body, lists the baseline requirements below.

• Definition of the company's requirements.
• Drafting of the energy policy and setting of energy objectives.
• Initial energy review covering the significant uses of energy.
• Definition of the required stages and of the competencies for each role.
• Identification of the resources directly tied to the energy objectives.
• Methods for monitoring and analysing energy consumption.
• Definition of effective energy performance indicators.
• Effective tools for operational analysis.
• Continuous analysis and review of the development of effective energy use.

What Each Element Looks Like in Practice

The initial energy review is the most involved of the items on this list. It maps every significant consumer of electricity, fuel, steam, and compressed air on site and ranks the opportunities for improvement. The review then feeds directly into the policy, the objectives, and the energy performance indicators the company will use to track progress over time. Sistem Patent Kalite supports the build from the initial review through to the successful close-out of the certification audit.
