Overview
What is ISO 50001:2018?
ISO 50001:2018 is the international standard for energy management systems. It helps an organization understand how it uses energy, identify significant energy uses, set an energy baseline and energy performance indicators, and improve energy performance through a systematic plan-do-check-act approach.
Who it is for in Saudi Arabia
ISO 50001 is relevant to energy-intensive organizations such as manufacturing plants, petrochemical and industrial facilities, hospitals, hotels, data centres, commercial real estate and utilities, and to any organization with significant energy costs or energy-efficiency targets.
Accreditation status
TUV United Arabia's SAAC accreditation for ISO 50001 certification is in progress. Please ask our team about the current status when you plan your certification. Our current accreditation scope is shown on our accreditation page.
How certification works
After your application and quotation, the Stage 1 audit reviews your energy review, energy baseline, energy performance indicators and action plans, and your readiness. The Stage 2 audit evaluates implementation and the evidence of energy performance improvement. The certificate is valid for three years with annual surveillance audits. See our certification process.
Preparing for your audit
As a certification body we do not provide consultancy. ISO 50001 shares the high-level structure of ISO 14001, so the two systems are often managed together.
