ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management.ISO 50001 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to:Develop a policy for more efficient use of energyFix targets and objectives to meet the policyUse data to better understand and make decisions about energy useMeasure the resultsReview how well the policy works, andContinually improve energy management.

Like other ISO management system standards, certification to ISO 50001 is possible but not obligatory. Some organizations decide to implement the standard solely for the benefits it provides. Others decide to get certified to it, to show external parties they have implemented an energy management system. ISO does not perform certification.
