FAQ
Frequently asked questions about ISO 50001
Can ISO 50001 deliver tax advantages?
In many cases yes. A certified EnMS is often a prerequisite for relief such as the peak-balancing scheme or certain funding programs. The applicable law at the time is decisive.
How does ISO 50001 differ from an energy audit?
An energy audit (e.g. to EN 16247) is a one-off analysis; ISO 50001 establishes a lasting improvement process.
