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.

  • Provide a certifiable framework for systematically managing energy performance
  • Help organizations establish energy baselines and measurable performance indicators
  • Drive continual improvement in energy efficiency, use and consumption
  • Support reduction of energy-related costs and greenhouse gas emissions
  • Embed energy management into everyday operational and strategic decisions
