In this lecture, how top management commitment should be towards the implementation of ISO 50001 standard is discussed in detail. The very first step of deciding scope, boundaries and even the creation of energy policy are discussed with examples.

Once committed to implementing the standard, then the next most important step is planning & designing. Once planning is done in a robust way then the whole implementation becomes a cakewalk. This section helps in understanding clearly about the things like staff awareness, Gap assessment and implementation planning. This lecture also gives a fair idea about timelines for implementation of the system which is a very important aspect from top management's perspective.

This lecture provides the readers with lots amount of information about almost complete documentation required for implementing the standard and getting certified. Templates for various important and required documents were presented in detail.

This lecture will provide deep insights on how to actually proceed for on-ground implementation of designed or planned strategy.

This lecture will focus completely on how the certification is achieved after the successful implementation of energy management systems. Deeper insights like criteria to select proper certification body and all relevant procedures involved in certification like

-preliminary visit

-Documentation

-Pre-Audit

-Certification Audit

-Surveillance Audit

are provided. 

It's always important to have a sophisticated checklist prepared ready before attempting for certification of ISO 50001. Implementation of energy management systems involves the utilisation of resources like time, manpower and money and hence during a certification audit, nothing should go wrong. Hence a properly designed checklist is of the utmost important aspect and this section provides you with an idea of how to prepare a comprehensive checklist keeping in mind various requirements.
