ISO 50000+ STANDARDS

Energy Management, Energy Efficiency, Energy Audits, Energy Performance, Energy Savings & Decarbonization

The ISO 50000+ range brings together standards addressing energy management, energy efficiency, energy audits, energy performance measurement, energy services, energy savings, energy data and energy-related decarbonization.

At the centre of the range is ISO 50001, which specifies requirements for an Energy Management System (EnMS) and is the principal certification standard in this family. The supporting standards provide guidance and methodologies for implementing an energy-management system, conducting energy audits, measuring energy performance, evaluating energy savings and managing energy data. ISO/TC 301 describes ISO 50001 as its flagship standard and states that its work also focuses on measurement, verification and validation of energy savings.

WHAT DOES THE ISO 50000+ RANGE COVER?

Energy management is broader than simply reducing electricity consumption. The ISO 50000+ range provides standards and guidance for organizations seeking to understand, control and improve their energy performance systematically.

The range includes standards relating to:

Energy Management Systems
Energy audits
Energy audit competence
Energy performance
Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIs)
Energy baselines
Energy services
Energy data
Energy monitoring
Energy measurement and verification
Energy savings
Energy-saving projects
