Following the examples of the ISO 9000 series on quality management and the ISO 14000 series on environmental management, the project committee ISO/PC 242—“Energy management,” will consider the development of a standard containing relevant terms and definitions, and providing management system requirements together with guidance for use, implementation, measurement, and metrics. The standard will be based on the continual improvement and plan-do-check-act approach used in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 to aid compatibility and integration.

(ISO: Geneva) -- The International Organization for Standardization recently approved the development of an international standard on energy management. The standard will provide organizations and companies a practical and widely recognized approach to increase energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve their environmental performance by addressing the technical and management aspects of rational energy use. The standard is intended to be broadly applicable to various sectors of national economies, including utility, manufacturing, commercial building, general commerce, and transportation sectors, and therefore, could have influence on as much as 60 percent of the world’s energy demand.
