New Standards for Energy Management
Numerous major companies in Germany have been certified to the ISO 50001 standard. This standard requires establishment of a systematic energy management. ISO 50003 now goes one step further and requires continual, systematic increase in energy efficiency. This requires the auditor to check and confirm the successive improvement during the certification audit. With ISO 50003, additional new standards of the ISO 50000 series take effect: ISO 50006 prescribes the requirements for energy-related performance measurements using energy starting basis (EnB) and energy performance indicators (EnPl). In turn, ISO 50015 refers to the measurement and verification of energy-related performance of organizations. The ISO 50000 Family:
- ISO 50001: Establishment of a systematic energy management
- ISO 50003: Certification instructions for auditors
- ISO 50006: Development of energy performance indicators
- ISO 50015: Systematic measurement
