ISO 50001:2001 (ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS)

Abstract

ISO 50001: 2011, Energy management systems standard, is a voluntary standard developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to help organizations that need a standardization for energy management systems (EnMS). The ISO50001: 2011 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system including improvement of energy performance and energy efficiency, energy use and energy consumption. ISO 50001 provides benefits to both large and small organizations in both the public and private sectors in manufacturing and servicing in all regions of the world. This standard will create a framework for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional and Government office and organizations that have energy management. Targeting broad applicability across national economic sectors, it is expected that this standard will help to reduce global energy use by around 60 percent. ISO50001: 2011 is designed to be independent, compatible with other management systems and it is effective to organizations that have a consistent energy policy.
