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 50001:2018
Energy management
An energy policy is a statement. An energy baseline is evidence.
ISO 50001 certification requires more than a documented system: the organization must demonstrate continual improvement of its energy performance, measured against an energy baseline.
Who it is for. Energy-intensive industry — steel, cement, chemicals, fertilizers, textiles — as well as utilities, large buildings, data centres and transport operators.
- Energy review and identification of significant energy uses
- Energy baseline and energy performance indicators
- Objectives, targets and action plans for energy improvement
- Operational control and design of facilities and equipment
- Energy data collection plan and measurement
- Demonstration of energy performance improvement
Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.
How the audit runs
Audit time is determined under ISO 50003:2021, based on annual energy consumption, the number of energy sources and the number of significant energy uses. 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.
Edition and transition
Audits are conducted against ISO 50001:2018 including Amendment 1:2024 on climate-change considerations.
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.
