What is ISO 50001?

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. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management.

ISO 50001:2018 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to:

Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy

Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy

Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use

Measure the results

Review how well the policy works, and

Continually improve energy management.
