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 55001:2014
Asset management
Capital decisions taken asset by asset produce a portfolio nobody designed.
ISO 55001 certification demonstrates that an organization manages its assets through coordinated decisions that balance cost, risk and performance over the whole asset life cycle.
Who it is for. Utilities, power and water networks, oil and gas, transport infrastructure, ports, real estate portfolios and heavy industry.
- Organizational objectives translated into asset management objectives
- The strategic asset management plan and decision-making criteria
- Asset management plans and life-cycle activities
- Risk, including the risk of asset failure
- Asset information and data governance
- Performance evaluation, management review and improvement
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 asset management competence and 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
Better asset performance, availability and reliability
02
Higher return on investment and longer asset life
03
Better financial planning and resource allocation
04
Proactive risk management
Certification gives independent confidence in the system; it does not by itself guarantee any commercial outcome.
Edition and transition
Audits are conducted against ISO 55001:2014, the edition within our scope. ISO 55001:2024 has since been published; transition will follow the arrangements set for that revision.
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.
