Management System Certification

ISO50001 Energy Management System Certification

As the global technological development and industrialization process accelerates, governments and people are increasingly aware of the importance of protecting the environment on which humans depend for survival and giving practical action. Under the guiding ideology of “energy saving, consumption reduction, low carbon”, in order to help organization to manage energy, the United States, Europe and other countries have introduced relevant energy management standards since 2000, in order to help organizations improve their profitability, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and further achieving energy conservation and emission reduction targets,  British Standards Institute (BSI) announced in 2009 the launch of the world's first internationally recognized energy management system standard EN BS16001, China also issued an energy management system in April 2009 Standard GB/T23331. ISO International Standards Organization PC242 Energy Management Committee released the international standard ISO50001 on June 15, 2011, energy management system, which establishes a framework for energy management  to assist enterprises in energy management  for efficiency, reduce costs and improve environmental benefits. China has carried out the equivalent conversion of ISO50001 international standard in 2012 and it was released on October 1, 2013.

On December 7, 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 12 departments jointly issued the “Energy Saving and Low Carbon Action Implementation Plan”. Its guiding ideology is guided by the scientific development concept and strengthens the government's energy conservation supervision of key energy-using units in accordance with the law. We will promote  enterprises to strengthen energy conservation management, establish and improve energy conservation incentive and restraint mechanisms, accelerate energy conservation technology transformation and structural adjustment, greatly improve energy efficiency, and make important contributions to the realization of the “12th 5-Year Plan” energy conservation goals. The “Proposal” puts forward ten energy conservation work requirements for the enterprises. The third requirement requires the enterprises to establish and improve the energy management system in accordance with GB/T23331 “Energy Management System Requirements”, and gradually form a conscious implementation of energy conservation laws, regulations and policy standards. Actively adopt advanced energy-saving management methods and technologies, implement the whole process of energy utilization management, and pay attention to the energy-saving management mechanism of energy-saving culture construction, so as to achieve continuous improvement of work, continuous optimization of management, and continuous improvement of energy efficiency. The general grasp of the implementation of the energy-saving and low-carbon solutions of the enterprise is that the enterprise establishes an energy management system in accordance with GB/T23331 “Energy Management System Requirements” and obtains certification from a third-party certification body.

Benefits of ISO50001 certification

• The energy management system covers the whole process of enterprise energy management and utilization, comprehensively and systematically regulates various energy management activities from the actual situation of the enterprise, and achieves the purpose of reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization efficiency. At the same time, it draws on the successful model of ISO9001 and ISO14001, combines the characteristics and special requirements of the energy management field, and adopts the concept of system management and process method, and adopts the internationally popular PDCA model to integrate management and energy-saving technologies. By guiding organizations to identify effective energy management system elements and processes, helping organizations achieve energy policies and goals, and improve the efficiency and level of energy management in organizations.

• It is conducive to promoting the implementation of national energy laws, regulations, policies, standards and other requirements, which is conducive to the organization's implementation of energy conservation work, and is conducive to timely identification of unclear responsibilities in energy management, and to establish and improve interconnections. The energy management organizational structure that mutually restricts and promotes each other provides protection; it is conducive to establishing a good image of social responsibility, reducing production and operation costs, reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, and improving market competitiveness through energy conservation.
