This is part of an email that I received concerning ISO 50001 which will replace BS 16001:2009 Energy management systems. BS EN 16001:2009 (E) is currently the European standard for Energy management and 3rd party systems certification and is seeing some use in the USA and elsewhere.
Hi Randy,
Happy New Year!!
The latest meeting of the ISO committee was in October 2010. A new draft of the standard was prepared but it has not been released for general distribution as yet.
The final version of the standard is due to be released in June 2011.
The following is part of the INTRODUCTION to BS 16001:2009 and will be very similar to the INTRODUCTION of ISO 50001 I have seen in the DIS.
INTRODUCTION
The overall aim of this European standard is to help organizations establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy efficiency. This should lead to reductions in cost and greenhouse gas emissions through systematic management of energy. This standard specifies requirements for an energy management system to enable an organization to develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and information about significant energy aspects. It is intended to apply to all types and sizes of organizations irrespective of any geographical, cultural and social conditions. This standard applies to the activities under the control of an organization.
This standard for energy management systems can be used independently or integrated with any other management system. To facilitate its use, the structure of this standard is similar to the structure of ISO 14001.
