Implementation Process ISO 50001

Tiêu chuẩn ISO 50001
ISO 50001 is designed based on the principle that is the management model according to the PDCA cycle (Plan – Do – Check – Action). Therefore, it ensures maximum compatibility with other systems such as ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 22000… enterprises can apply individually or in combination with other standards.5 steps to implement an Energy Management System
Step 1 – Developing an energy policy:
This is the first step foundation for developing and implementing an energy management system. The energy policy must be reviewed regularly to ensure the system is implemented and adequate.

Step 2 – Make a plan for energy management:
This is the basic step. Tasks to be carried out in this phase include assessment of the relevant legal system at local; Assess use energy at the facility; Identify potential for improvement; Define energy efficiency indicator and energy usage curve; Set goals, targets and energy management programs.

Step 3 – Implementation and Operation:
This is the stage of the management system into operation. The outputs of step 2 will apply in this stage

Step 4 – Check and track:
This phase is evaluating the effectiveness of the system and provides data to review.
