BS EN 50001:2018 Energy management system. Requirements with guidance for use

ISO 50001:2018 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system (EnMS).

The Standard is applicable to any organisation, regardless of its type, nature or size and applies to the activities under the control of the organisation.

The Standard does not apply to product use by end-users outside the scope and boundaries of its EnMS, nor does it apply to product design outside of facilities, equipment systems or energy-using processes.

ISO 50001:2018 is based on Annex SL, the high level structure (HLS) that brings a common framework to all ISO management systems. With the new standard structure in place, organisations should find it easier to incorporate their energy management system into core business processes and get more involvement from senior management.

This Standard require demonstration of continual energy performance improvement, but does not define levels of energy performance improvement to be achieved.
