Energy and Environment

In energy, what decides is not being an energy company but your energy intensity, the critical assets you operate and your role in the supply chain. An energy-consuming hotel can be a candidate here too.

The questions we ask before producing a result

  1. Do you generate energy, or consume it intensively?
  2. Do you supply into the petroleum, gas or nuclear chain?
  3. Do you hold a portfolio of critical physical assets?
  4. Do you manufacture or use equipment for explosive atmospheres?
  5. What are your environmental permits and emissions obligations?

Candidate ISO standards 10

Most commonly confused in this field

ISO 50001 is not an energy performance certificate

It is an energy management system, not the same record as an energy performance certificate, an energy audit or a renewable energy certificate.

ISO 19443 is not recommended to every supplier

No automatic recommendation is made without confirming a supply role for products and services important to nuclear safety (ITNS).

IECEx and ATEX/CE are separate systems

IECEx is an IEC conformity assessment system; ATEX/CE is European legislation. ISO/IEC 80079-34 is a manufacturing quality system. All three are assessed separately.

Non-ISO programmes common in this field

These are not ISO standards; each has its own scheme owner, issuing body and rules. Whether they are candidates is decided by activity and buyer requirement.

  • IECEx
  • ATEX / CE conformity
  • Environmental permits and emissions obligations
