In a world increasingly oriented towards sustainability and efficiency, energy management plays a crucial role.
The ISO 50001 standard specifies the requirements for an energy management system and allows organizations to adopt a systematic approach to continuously improve their energy performance, thus increasing efficiency and sustainability.
Our ISO 50001 certification service supports organizations in implementing an energy management system that promotes consumption reduction, optimization of energy performance, and increased competitiveness.
We address all companies and institutions that wish to adopt sustainable practices and optimize the use of energy resources, particularly those organizations that consume significant quantities of energy.
- Systematic improvement of energy performance.
- Structured system of control, updating energy management requirements, and continuous monitoring.
- Improvement of contractual conditions for energy supply.
- Guarantee of ethical commitment to energy saving and efficiency, both internally and externally to the organization.
- Economic savings: control and reduction of energy costs.
- Regulatory compliance: adherence to energy and environmental laws.
- Incentives and funding: access to funds for energy projects.
The main phases of the certification process include:
- We start by gathering essential details through a comprehensive questionnaire to understand your specific requirements.
- Based on the information provided, we prepare a tailored offer. Once you accept, this becomes our service provision contract.
- Our team conducts thorough audits, either on-site or off-site, and provides a detailed final report.
- If the audit is successful, our Technical Committee reviews the findings to ensure compliance.
- Upon approval, we issue your certificate of conformity.
- To maintain your certification, we conduct annual audits and provide a final report each year.
After receiving your certificate, annual "Surveillance Reviews" are required from the date of initial certification. The ISO 50001 certification is valid for three years and can be renewed at the end of this period.
For each certification activity, we appoint specific verification groups with expertise in the relevant scheme and sector to ensure the highest standards of service.
We are accredited by Accredia in accordance with the ISO 50003 standard for all technical areas (Industry, Complex Industries, Buildings, Complex Buildings, Transport), without geographical limitations, and therefore we can provide the service for any type of organization, wherever it is located.
The ISO 50001 standard "Energy management systems - Requirements with guidance for use" was revised in 2018 with the aim of improving energy management in terms of efficiency, use, and consumption. This revision specifies how to define, implement, maintain, and improve an energy management system according to the new HLS (High-Level Structure) of the ISO standard, providing requirements for a systematic, data-driven, and fact-based process focused on the continuous improvement of energy performance.
RINA subsequently adopted the updates of the new ISO 50003:2021 for the verification activity of Energy Management Systems (SGE) according to ISO 50001:2018, a crucial update given the environmental impacts resulting from the predominant use of fossil fuels, which represent about 70% of the energy consumed in the world.
Organizations are thus urged to review their consumption and adopt alternative and innovative solutions to contribute to the EU's climate goals, which foresee complete decarbonization by 2050. Integrating energy performance management into daily activities thus becomes imperative to save on business costs and contribute to safeguarding global energy resources. The ISO 50001 standard represents an essential complement to the UNI EN ISO 9001 quality management systems and UNI EN ISO 14001 environmental management systems.
To assess suitability for ISO 50001 certification, check if your organization has a monitoring system for energy consumption, has implemented measures to reduce consumption, optimized energy use, and defined energy improvement goals. These are just some of the points to start the certification process.
Implementing ISO 50001 systematically improves energy performance and offers structured control of regulations. It optimizes processes and demonstrates commitment to energy savings and efficiency.
The EU climate goals include complete decarbonization by 2050 and a reduction in the use of fossil fuels, which represent about 70% of the energy consumed in the world.
