CHAPTER 13 Flashcards
(40 cards)
The primary aim of the ISO 50001 document is to:
Establish systems for continual improvement of energy performance.
Successful EnMS implementation relies heavily on:
Commitment from top management and all levels of the organization.
This document’s application can be tailored to fit:
The specific requirements of the organization, including its complexity and
resources.
The document DOES apply to:
The design and procurement of energy-using processes within the EnMS scope.
Energy performance, as defined in the document, is related to:
Energy efficiency, energy use, and energy consumption.
The EnMS framework is based on the:
Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.
The “Plan” phase of the PDCA cycle includes:
Understanding the organizational context, establishing an energy policy, and
setting targets.
The “Check” phase of the PDCA cycle involves:
Monitoring, measuring, and evaluating energy performance.
ISO 50001’s compatibility with other management system standards is ensured by:
a) Its use of a unique structure.
Its high-level structure, identical core text, and common terms.
Demonstrating conformity to ISO 50001 can be achieved by:
Making an evaluation and self-declaration, or seeking confirmation from
interested parties, or seeking certification.
