ISO 50011 Energy Management System Auditing
The ISO 50011 standard provides a framework to design and implement an energy management system (EnMS) that helps organizations optimize their use of energy resources. This service focuses on auditing your existing EnMS against the requirements specified in ISO 50011, ensuring compliance and identifying areas for improvement.
ISO 50011 is applicable to any organization looking to establish an EnMS or wishing to enhance its current system. It can be used by organizations of all sizes and sectors, including manufacturing, services, healthcare, education, and retail. The standard provides a systematic approach to managing energy resources, which can lead to significant cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and improved operational efficiency.
The EnMS is designed around the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, making it flexible enough for organizations of all sizes and maturity levels. The audit process involves a comprehensive review of your organization’s energy management policies, procedures, training programs, and performance metrics to ensure they meet the requirements specified in ISO 50011.
During an ISO 50011 audit, we will assess various aspects of your EnMS, including:
- The scope and boundaries of the energy management system
- The objectives, targets, and indicators set for energy use and consumption

- The implementation of processes to address non-conformities and corrective actions
We will also examine your organization’s performance measurement, analysis, and improvement activities. By ensuring compliance with ISO 50011, you can demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency while meeting regulatory requirements.

- Interviews with key personnel involved in energy management activities
- On-site observations and data collection from relevant areas of your organization
- Evaluation of compliance with ISO 50011 requirements
- Identification of opportunities for improvement
- Preparation of a detailed audit report summarizing findings and recommendations
