Background

About ISO 50001:2018

International Assessment Bureau is an independent certification body based in the UK. ISO 50001:2018 is the international energy management standard, representing the effort of experts from over 50 countries to develop an international best practice that helps organisations integrate energy management into their existing business systems and continually improve energy performance.

Governments around the world promote compliance with ISO 50001 through national Energy Management Campaigns, and the standard is recognised as a global benchmark for climate and clean energy action. ISO itself issues no certification or conformity test directly - certification against ISO 50001:2018 is carried out by certification bodies such as International Assessment Bureau.
