This document discusses the ISO 50001 suite of standards for energy management. It provides an overview of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and outlines ISO's technical committee for energy management (ISO/TC 301). It then summarizes several key energy management standards within the ISO 50001 family, including ISO 50001 itself. The document reviews the process for developing and revising ISO standards. It also presents statistics on adoption of ISO 50001 certification internationally and in South Africa, highlighting trends in early adopter sectors.

Examines detailed understanding of the
objective use of data:
• Unpacking the inadequacies of specific
energy consumption e.g. KWh/Unit as a
performance indicator.
• Understanding regression analysis
application to energy performance
measurement.
ISO Technical Committee (ISO/TC 301) Member Countries
• ISO/TC 301 has received the benefit of the diversity of member country participation
• As of February 2017, there were 54 participating and 12 observing countries within ISO/TC 301, as
noted below:

The South African Bureau of Standards define standards as:
• The oil that lubricates the machinery of economic growth and international trade
• Essential for global competitiveness
• Repeatable way of doing something
• It is a published document that contains a technical specification or other precise criteria designed to
be used consistently as a rule, guideline or definition.
• Created by bringing together the experience and expertise of all interested parties ( producers, sellers,
buyers, users and regulators of a particular material/product/ service)

ISO Technical Committee (ISO/TC) 301 Business Plan
Aim:
• To align ISO work programme with expressed business environment needs and
trends.
• This allows ISO/TC’s to prioritize among different projects
- to identify the benefits expected from the availability of International Standards
- and to ensure adequate resources for projects throughout their development.

8. www.ncpc.co.za
ISO/TC 301 Objectives
To develop standards and guidance in the field of energy management for improved energy
performance and energy savings calculations.
Who is it it for?
ISO/TC 301 standardization work and products is targeted to all sizes and types of
organizations, groups, networks, cities, countries and regions.
ISO/TC’s vision:
To promote sustainable, effective, and efficient energy use by developing and encouraging use
of standards in the field of energy management, including transparent methodologies for energy
savings.

9. www.ncpc.co.za
ISO 50001 is the main standard for Energy
Management, the rest of the standards in its
family are there to support it.

If you are in some way involved in an Energy
Management System based on ISO 50001,
using the standards mentioned in the previous
slides will certainly add value to your work.

&
ISO 50001 Revision

14. www.ncpc.co.za
The ISO 50001 Revision Process
ISO 50001 is under revision after its first five years of service.
• The Draft International Standard (DIS) is submitted to ISO Central Secretariat by
the committee secretary. It is then circulated to all ISO members who then have
12 weeks to vote and comment on it.
• The DIS is approved if a two-thirds of the P-members of the TC/SC are in favour
and not more than one-quarter of the total number of votes cast are negative
• If the DIS is approved and no technical changes are introduced in the draft, the
project goes straight to publication. However, if technical changes are introduced,
FDIS stage is mandatory.

Stages & Resources for New Standards
Development

16. www.ncpc.co.za
Industrial Energy Efficiency Benefits
The development process for ISO standards has been divided into stages
and the main resources required at each stage are shown in the blue box
• The first step is to confirm that a new International Standard in the subject
area is really needed.
• A new work item proposal (NWIP) is submitted to the committee for voting.
*This stage can be skipped for revisions and amendments to ISO standards
that are already published (as long as the scope does not change).

17. www.ncpc.co.za
• Draft International Standard (DIS) is submitted to ISO Central Secretariat by the
committee secretary.
• It is then circulated to all ISO members who then have 12 weeks to vote and
comment on it.
• The DIS is approved if a two-thirds of the P-members of the TC are in favour and
not more than one-quarter of the total number of votes cast are negative
• If the DIS is approved without any technical changes in the draft, the project goes
straight to publication.
• If technical changes are introduced, FDIS stage is mandatory.

18. www.ncpc.co.za
• This stage would have been automatically skipped if the DIS had been approved
and no technical changes were introduced
• The draft currently incorporates technical changes following comments at the DIS
stage therefore the FDIS stage is mandatory.
• Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) will be submitted to ISO/Central
Secretariat (ISO/CS) by the committee secretary. The FDIS will be circulated to all
ISO members for a vote.
• The revised standard will be approved if a two-thirds majority of the TC/SC is in
favor and not more than one-quarter of the total number of votes cast are
negative.
