Overview

A professional programme for those who plan, lead and report management-system audits against ISO 55001:2024. It follows the audit principles of ISO 19011 and covers the full audit cycle — from planning and opening meeting to findings, nonconformity grading, reporting and follow-up — through realistic case work and role play.

The standard

About the standard

ISO 55001:2024

Asset Management System

Specifies what an organization must do to build, operate, sustain and keep enhancing a management system covering whichever assets it chooses to bring into scope. Any type of organization can adopt it, deciding for itself which asset classes the system applies to. The 2024 edition sharpens the original requirements around decision-making, value realization, strategic planning, risk and opportunity, data and knowledge, and life-cycle activities, drawing on roughly a decade of implementation experience.

Key objectives

  • Tie asset-related decisions and value realization explicitly to organizational objectives
  • Treat risk and opportunity separately so each gets proportionate attention
  • Give strategic asset management planning a clearer, more practical role
  • Recognize data, information and knowledge as assets that must be actively managed
  • Strengthen life-cycle management and predictive action across an asset's operating life

Who uses it

Asset-intensive organizations in utilities, infrastructure, manufacturing, and transport.
