BS ISO 50001 – Frequently Asked Questions

What is BS ISO 50001?

BS ISO 50001 is the new international standard for energy management systems – published by BSI Group on 15th June 2011 in the UK. It defines the latest best practice for energy management. The standard, which uses the "plan, do, check, act" framework familiar in other management systems, was developed over several years by the world's leading energy management experts, representing over 60 countries.

Is BS ISO 50001 right for my organization?

BS ISO 50001 can help organizations of all types, public sector, governmental, corporations, small or medium sized businesses across all sectors save money by saving wasted energy. You will be able to implement the processes necessary to understand their baseline energy usage, put in place action plans, targets and energy performance indicators for reducing consumption and identify, prioritise, and record opportunities for improving energy efficiency and therefore energy performance.

What will happen to BS EN 16001?

It is anticipated that BS ISO 50001 will replace BS EN 16001, which will most likely be withdrawn from use in mid 2012, although exact timelines for its adoption within Europe have yet to be finalised. As with all national or regional standards when they are to be superseded by international ones, the issuing national or regional standards body, in this case the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), will vote to formally adopt the standard for use in Europe. Once this happens BS EN 16001 will be removed from publication by all the CEN standards bodies, and BS ISO 50001 will become the title of the one official British, European, and International standard. But you can start using it now and start making those savings.

What happens if I am certified to BS EN 16001?

The new standard provides a similar "plan, do, check, act" framework to BS EN 16001 using a slightly different approach and terminology. For existing BSI certification customers there is a transition checklist available which identifies the key areas of change. Your BSI Client Manager will start the process of reviewing your organization's progress against the requirements of BS ISO 50001 at no extra charge during your continuing assessment visits over the next eighteen month transition period. When you have successfully demonstrated compliance to the new standard you will be issued with a certificate for BS ISO 50001. If you are a certification customer and have more questions about this transition please contact your BSI Client Manager.
