ISO 50001

The British standard, BS EN 16001 / ISO 50001 (due for release in late 2010 or early 2011) helps businesses establish the systems and processes necessary to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the systematic improvement of energy efficiency and its consumption.

BS EN 16001 specifies the requirements for an energy management system to enable you to develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and information about significant energy aspects. It applies organizations of all types and sizes and accommodates diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions and applies to all of the activities under the control of an organization.

The structure of BS EN 16001 is similar to the structure of BS EN ISO 14001 and it can be used independently or integrated into the wider 14001 framework.

BS EN 16001 is best applied to any organization that wishes to:

a) Improve energy performance in a systematic way
b) Establish, implement, maintain and improve an energy management system
c) Ensure that it conforms with its stated energy policy
d) Demonstrate such conformance to others
e) Seek certification of its energy management system by an external organization
f) Make a self-evaluation and self-declaration of conformance with the standard.

Who is EN 16001 relevant to?

EN 16001 is suitable for any organization – whatever your size, sector or geographical location. It is particularly relevant if you operate in an energy intensive industry or one facing GHG emission legislation.

Being independently certified to EN 16001 by BSI, an independent third-party, will be the ultimate assurance to your stakeholders that you comply with Energy Management best practice.

• If the organization's processes have addressed all the requirements of the Technical Specification, there is no "automatic" major non-conformance during the initial registration audit for having failed to address a section of the Technical Specification
• Ordinarily, such an initial "automatic" major non-conformance could result in a truncated registration audit and necessitate a second visit by the registrar, thereby increasing costs
• Being fully prepared avoids this potential increased cost

Who is it applicable to?

Automotive manufacturers assure quality by requiring registration to automotive quality standards that provide quality assurance. By requiring ISO/TS 16949:2002 certifications, automobile manufacturers can be assured that all of their suppliers are adhering to a consistent set of quality standards that are strict and intertwined throughout Organizations of all types, sectors and sizes can improve their performance through the implementation of this standard.
