ISO 50001:
Energy Management

Energy is a critical constituent in most organisations, and the usage can have major cost implications. This standard helps you take a structured approach towards measuring and monitoring how much energy you use. By measuring and monitoring energy use, the standard will help you reduce costs and improve energy performance as well as helping you meet environmental and carbon reduction targets.

 

Investing in an ISO 50001 energy management system is an investment in improving our planet. We encourage companies who chose to take this step to reduce waste, costs, and risks while supporting the environment in the process. Therefore, we are gifting one of our IMSM trees to each company that invests in an ISO 50001 as a way to celebrate their decision by giving back and helping the planet.

Trusted by over 2,000 companies across the globe

Achieving energy efficiency.

What is ISO 50001?

ISO 50001 is the international standard for an Energy Management Systems (EnMS). It is applicable to any organisation – whatever your size, industry, or location to manage your energy, including procurement and use. ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.

ISO 50001 specifies requirements an organisation needs to establish, implement, maintain, and improve an energy management system. That enables an organisation to take a systematic approach to achieve continual improvement of energy performance, energy efficiency, and energy conservation.

The Process

Steps to getting ISO 50001 certification

With our excellent support and guidance you can rest assure that your ISO 50001 certification will be successful.

1. Initial Consultation

We help you outline your goals, focusing on what your business wants to achieve and how it defines success, particularly in relation to your client’s requirements. You and your ISO consultants will agree on reasonable outcomes and delivery dates.

2. Producing System Documentation

Next, the IMSM consultant will audit your existing procedures and help you document the new systems that will help deliver success – both existing and how you will improve these. The manual system documentation sets out how your business should operate going forward so that it can deliver ISO 50001.
You will be able to view the manual system documentation, along with most other relevant documentation, on our client portal IMSMLoop. It offers a comprehensive insight into the progress of your ISO implementation, along with copies of the relevant audit reports, certifications, and any necessary corrective actions. The portal serves as a central hub for tracking your ISO journey.

3. ISO 50001 Framework Adoption

While the manual is a vital document moving forward, it is even more important that it gets put to practical use. We work with the senior management team to ensure the framework is embedded throughout your organisation. We can also develop and deliver tailored training for staff to ensure that the understanding and implementation of ISO 50001 is watertight. This will create consistency across your organisation, transforming your business from day one so it is optimised for efficiency, continual improvement, and greater profitability.

4. Submission to External Auditor

Before you can be awarded the ISO 50001 certification, your organisation applies to the third-party certifying body that you have selected to conduct your audit. This audit objectively determines whether your business conforms to ISO 50001, and the relevant accompanying documentation is accessible through our client portal, IMSMLoop.

How long does it take to get ISO 50001 certification?
Ultimately, it depends on the size and complexity of your business. As a benchmark, most organisations can expect certification within three to six months of beginning the ISO 50001 process.
How do I pass an ISO audit?
A business will pass its ISO audit by preparing beforehand. Your IMSM ISO specialist will help you prepare, but your organisation must be receptive to the changes. Are you analysing the results of internal audits? Are you regularly implementing corrective actions? Do you have a clear set of objectives and targets? Getting your entire team on board each step of the way will help you pass.
How long does ISO 50001 last?
This particular IMSM certification is valid for 3 years. Regardless of how long your ISO 50001 certification is valid, your organisation must demonstrate continuous improvement from the original certification date to the renewal date.
What is the difference between ISO 50000 and ISO 50001?
ISO 50000 is a family of energy management standards; ISO 50001 is one of them. It outlines the fundamentals of an efficient and effective EnMS (Energy Management System).
What is the current version of ISO 50001?
ISO (50001:2018) is the most up-to-date version of the certification, making any qualification certified to previous editions redundant.
What is the difference between ISO 14001 and ISO 50001?
Although ISO 14001 references energy, the standard is focused on improving overall environmental performance – which is accomplished through the reduction of waste, and cleaner methods. A key difference is ISO 14001 does not look at the decrease in energy use or management of costs, which ISO 50001 does.
