FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ISO 50001:2018 CERTIFICATION
-
When implementing ISO 50001:2018, are organisations required to invest in additional energy-efficient equipment?
Not mandatory. The standard focuses on managing and optimising existing equipment. Investing in new technology is only necessary if the organisation aims to accelerate efficiency improvements.
-
Does ISO 50001:2018 help reduce energy costs immediately?
Energy savings are typically evident after a short period once the system is operating stably and data is being fully monitored. This is a long-term management solution aimed at sustainable results rather than immediate cost reductions.
-
If only one facility consumes a significant amount of energy, can it be certified separately?
Yes. ISO 50001 allows the certification scope to be limited to individual facilities, production lines, or areas with high energy consumption; it is not mandatory to cover the entire organisation.
-
After achieving certification, what should organisations do to maintain the effectiveness of the ISO 50001:2018 system?
Periodic surveillance assessments (typically once every 12 months) must be conducted to ensure that the energy management system is maintained and continuously improved in accordance with the standard’s requirements.
-
What factors influence the cost of ISO 50001:2018 implementation?
The cost depends on the scale of operations, energy consumption levels, and the current state of the system. ARES Vietnam partners with organisations to provide a comprehensive end-to-end service, including consulting, training, assessment, and certification.
