List of documents for ISO 50001 Implementation

Effective implementation of energy management systems should be given utmost importance than that of creating complex documentation. But nevertheless, both should go in hand by hand as it is necessary to maintain systematic documentation for achieving continual improvement in energy management.   

The documentation actually helps in both understanding the concept, implementation of energy management systems and to even realise the benefits achieved out of EnMS. Intent to go for ISO 50001 can also be communicated with all the stakeholders through documentation and it actually ensures that energy-related activities are performed consistently and according to the requirements. And finally of course for certification purpose documentation helps. Documents can be of any form like paper or even in electronic form depending on the requirement.

Few documents are to be maintained as per standard and few others can be maintained on implementers own interest. Below is the list of documents for ISO 50001 implementation.

• Scope and boundaries of the system
