UK Implements Energy Efficiency Standard

8th July 2009

BSi has just announced the publication of a new Management Systems Standard:

BS EN 16001:2009 Energy Management Systems. Requirements with guidance for use.

BS EN 16001 will help your business establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy efficiency. This should help save money through systematic management of energy.

BS EN 16001 specifies requirements for an energy management system to enable you to develop and implement a policy and objectives that take into account legal requirements and information about significant energy aspects. It is a useful document for all types and sizes of organizations and accommodates diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions. This standard applies to the activities under the control of an organization.

Most SQMC clients have already installed ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001. BS EN 16001 can be used independently or integrated with any other management system. To facilitate its use, the structure of this standard is similar to the structure of BS EN ISO 14001.

BS EN 16001 applies to any organization that wishes to:

a) Improve energy performance in a systematic way

b) Establish, implement, maintain and improve an energy management system

c) Ensure that it conforms with its stated energy policy

d) Demonstrate such conformance to others

e) Seek certification of its energy management system by an external organization

f) Make a self-evaluation and self-declaration of conformance with the standard.
