What is ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems and who does it apply to?
ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems is a compliance framework from International (ISO) with 9 domains and 60 controls. ISO 50001:2018 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an energy management system (EnMS). It enables organizations to follow a systematic approach to achieving continual improvement of energy performance including energy efficiency, use, and consumption. Uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act framework and the High Level Structure for integration with other ISO management systems. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
What does ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems actually require?
ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems has 60 controls organised across 9 domains. The largest domains are Clause 0 – ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems (24 controls), Clause 6 – ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems (8 controls), Support – ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems (8 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.
If I already comply with another framework, how much of ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems do I already cover?
ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems maps to 122 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ISO 45001:2018 (69% coverage), ISO 9001:2015 (69% coverage), ISO 22000:2018 (67% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
