ISO 55001 the standard for asset management

What is ISO 55001

ISO 55001 is an essential part of the ISO 55000 family. This international standard establishes criteria for establishing, implementing and improving an asset management system.

Do you work in the chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, gas, transport, construction or manufacturing industry or for the government? If so, you’re part of an "asset intensive" organisation and will undoubtedly benefit from a good management of your physical assets.

You invest huge sums of money in infrastructure, buildings, rolling stock, plant and machinery. ISO 55001 helps make the most of these investments. It helps you minimise risks, prevent downtime and maximise the value of your assets, leading to greater efficiency and sustainable growth.
