Standards are increasingly used by asset and facility owners and operators to control and fine-tune their business processes.

Aside from the more familiar business-related standards covering quality, the environment and security, there are others that have been developed specifically for the asset management and facility management sectors.

Take a look below at the breadth of coverage for facilities management.

Other standards relevant to the needs of asset and facility owners and operators include ISO 41011 Facility Management – Vocabulary, ISO 41012 Facility management – Guidance on strategic sourcing and the development of agreements and ISO 41013 Facility Management – Scope, key concepts and benefits.

Management systems standards cover key business areas; for example, ISO 9001 (quality management systems), ISO 14001 (environmental management systems), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management systems) and ISO 55000 & ISO 55001 (asset management). The management systems standard for Facility Management is ISO 41001 Facility Management – Management Systems – Requirements with guidance for use.

Contact us to learn more about what these standards cover and how they can be applied in your business and, in the case of ISO 41001, the steps involved in implementation and certification.
