Strong documentation, a foundation to successful energy management operation
The heart of ISO50001 certification is to certify that you have thoroughly documented the way that organisations do things, and that organisations' workers actually do things in the way that was documented. This means the documentation plays the most important role in ISO50001 certification process. Establishing sound documents and the proper control of documents are essential in order for maintaining, communicating and further improving the management systems with all people involved. The guideline and provisions defined in the charter document should address proper handling of documents including defined structure and procedures as EnMS documentation.
If you appreciate the content of ISO 50001, then you come to realize that...
ISO 50001 is not at all particular about the "certification".
ISO 50001 is particular about "Improving your energy performance"
It strongly recommends to take the essence rather than formality.
So, what is the “essence”?
It is to ensure adding value to your business and its sustainability by improving energy performance in your operation.
So then, exactly what is ISO 50001 requiring?
Nothing. It is to promote the mission that each organization has: "Sustainable business development" through achieving the energy performance improvement objectives and targets, as a result of implementing the energy management system in line with the business operation. This is ISO 50001's aim and hope.
So then, how do you proceed with the ISO 50001 EnMS operation?
Top management must lead, appointing influential management representative "person responsible for energy management (PRF) or EnMS champion", to run an aggressive EnMS operation with all people involved under the effective EnMS structure.
However, the operation requiring all people's involvement with a proper teamwork requires adequate documentation to ensure people sharing common information and knowledge.
In EnMS operation, without proper documents, actions are vulnerable.
