About ISO 50001:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. ISO specifications are implemented across various businesses to measure the level of excellence amongst products, services, systems and procedures. It is necessary in this era of globalization to maintain consistency and quality across industries and nations. An ISO implementation qualifies a management system, manufacturing process, service or documentation to have all the requirements of standardization and quality assurance.<\/p>\n

ISO certifications exist in different industry areas like energy management, quality management, environmental management, safety and health management etc.<\/p>\n

ISO standards ensure consistency. Each certification pertains to different sets of criteria and standards and is classified numerically.<\/p>\n

The most commonly implemented ISO certifications are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. ISO 9001 (QMS) is for quality management systems, ISO 14001 (EMS) is for environmental management systems whereas ISO 45001 (OH & S) is for occupational health and safety management.<\/p>\n

But today we will talk about ISO 50001 \u2013 energy management systems or better known as \u2018EnMs\u2019 in short. This standard is worlds first and most recognized for \u2018energy management system\u2019. The current version is ISO 50001:2018. It helps in providing a guideline to establish an energy management system and is a global standard for energy audit. It can be applicable for buildings, building complexes, utilities, light and medium industries, heavy industries, government facilities, military bases etc. Its implementation improves operational efficiency, helps in saving energy and cutting costs.<\/p>\n

An energy management system involves implementing a systematic approach to energy efficiency. It comprises best practices in project management, energy monitoring, energy awareness and helps in integrating an energy policy that monitors an organization\u2019s approach towards energy use and performance.<\/p>\n
