The standard
About the standard
ISO 50001:2018
Energy Management System
Specifies requirements for building and running an energy management system that helps organizations track, control and continually improve how they generate and consume energy. It follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle used across other ISO management standards, covering energy policy, planning, baselines, performance indicators, monitoring and management review. The standard suits any organization, of any size or sector, that wants to cut energy costs and emissions through a systematic, data-driven approach rather than one-off efficiency projects.
