ISO 5001: Energy management systems - Requirements with guidance for use
Publisher/Sponsor:
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
This International Standard specifies requirements for establishing,
implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system,
whose purpose is to enable an organization to follow a systematic
approach in achieving continual improvement of energy performance,
including energy efficiency, energy use and consumption.
This
International Standard specifies requirements applicable to energy use
and consumption, including measurement, documentation and reporting,
design and procurement practices for equipment, systems, processes and
personnel that contribute to energy performance.
It applies to all variables affecting energy
performance that can be monitored and influenced by the organization.
This International Standard does not prescribe specific performance
criteria with respect to energy. It has been designed to be used independently, but it can be aligned or
integrated with other management systems. It is applicable to any organization wishing to ensure that it
conforms to its stated energy policy and wishing to demonstrate this to
others, such conformity being confirmed either by means of
self-evaluation and self-declaration of conformity, or by certification
of the energy management system by an external organization.
Annex A provides informative guidance on its use.
