ISO 50001
The International Energy Management Standard
esta.org.uk
Background to Standard
• UK led development with British Standards Institute
• Based on committee member’s experience and that of
other advisors
• Based on existing Energy Management approaches
employed worldwide
• Based on recognised ‘Best Practice’
• Piloted in mid June 2009 – 5 case studies
• Published as BS EN 16001 in September 2009
• ‘Internationalised’, by negotiation, for conversion to
ISO 50001 – released June 2011
• Final changeover to ISO50001 end of April
2012

Relationships
• EnMS layout, paragraphs and
approach based on existing Standards
such as:
• ISO 9000 series
• ISO 14001
• etc.
