ISO 50001 - International Standard for Energy Management Systems
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) presented the new ISO 50001 in June 2011. This standard prescribes the requirements for an energy management system, which allows an organization the systematic and continuous improvement of their energy related performance, as well as an increase of their energy efficiency.
ISO 50001 is designed to optimize the internal energy consumption throughout any organization. The overall objective is to support organizations wanting to set up a comprehensive energy management system, and to continually improve their energy performance, with the aim of lower energy costs and less greenhouse gas emissions.
ISO 50001 follows closely the structures of ISO 14001, which allows for many similar requirements to be implemented across standards, and facilitates the integration of additional requirements. Even in companies with high energy awareness the first assessments prove that strong energy management systems can lead to substantial savings.
This standard provides a set of requirements and suggested controls which if implemented effectively can protect an organisations informational assets from theft, unauthorised access, or from being compromised in any way.
