Revised ISO 50001 energy management system standard
The international ISO 50001:2018 standard that replaces ISO 50001:2011 was issued for energy management system in August 2018. 3-years transition period that ends 21.08.2021 was set up. After this date all certificates issued according to ISO 50001:2011 become invalid.
Certified organizations should adopt their energy management system to ISO 50001:2018 requirements.
New standard brings several changes, e.g.:
- understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties
- enhanced focus on leadership and top management responsibility
- risks and opportunities control
- extended requirements for communication
- enhanced focus on planning and collection of energy data and others
- extended requirements for monitoring, measurement, analysis and energy performance evaluation
