ISO 55001 Certification
ISO 55001 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for an asset management system (AMS). It provides a structured framework for managing physical assets effectively and efficiently throughout their lifecycle. This standard helps organizations realize value from their assets, improve operational performance, and achieve strategic objectives.
ISO 55001 certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented a robust asset management system in line with the best practices outlined in the ISO 55000 series. The certification ensures that the organization has the policies, processes, and procedures in place to manage assets systematically and sustainably.
The standard applies to all types of assets and organizations of all sizes and sectors, from manufacturing and utilities to transportation and healthcare.
