Global Energy Up is an independent certification body for management systems and a validation and verification body for greenhouse-gas information. We audit and decide; we do not consult.
ISO 41001:2018
Facility management
Buildings serve people; facility management decides how well.
ISO 41001 certification demonstrates that an organization manages facility services so that its buildings, workplaces and infrastructure support its core activities effectively.
Who it is for. Facility management providers, real estate owners, hospitals, universities, government campuses and large corporate portfolios.
- Demand and needs of the organization and its occupants
- Facility management strategy and objectives
- Service delivery integration and supplier management
- Operational control of facility services
- Performance monitoring and service level evaluation
- Risk, safety and sustainability of the built environment
Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.
How the audit runs
Audit time is determined on the basis of ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 clause 9.1.4 and the audit-time rules applicable to the scheme. Remote auditing never reduces the required audit time.
01.
Stage 1
Review of documentation, readiness and scope, and planning of Stage 2.
02.
Stage 2
On-site evaluation of implementation and effectiveness; findings are recorded.
03.
Decision & surveillance
An independent decision, then annual surveillance through the three-year cycle.
Why organizations seek it
01
Facilities aligned with organizational needs
02
Better control of outsourced services
03
Improved occupant experience and productivity
04
Lower life-cycle cost of the built environment
Certification gives independent confidence in the system; it does not by itself guarantee any commercial outcome.
Edition and transition
Audits are conducted against ISO 41001:2018, the current edition.
Auditing with other standards
Where the system is integrated with others, the standards can be audited together in one visit; duration is calculated for each standard and then adjusted for the actual degree of integration.
- What do I need to apply?
- Why do you ask about consultancy?Because we do not certify a system on which a body related to us provided consultancy, and every application is screened for conflicts of interest before it is accepted.
- Will the certificate carry an accreditation mark?Not before accreditation is granted. Certificates are currently issued without an accreditation mark.
