What Is It?

ISO 55001 provides organisations with a systematic approach to asset management.

ISO 55001 specifies the requirements to establish, implement, manage and continually improve an asset management system.

It is based on the high-level structure, Annex-SL, common to all modern management systems standards. This allows for easy integration with existing implemented systems, providing greater control of organisational risks.

It helps organisations manage assets throughout its life-cycle, including the implementation, maintenance, upgrade or expansion of infrastructure, and decommissioning. Complying to the Standard helps ensure a positive ROI from assets, by focussing on supporting organisational objectives.
Scope

ISO 55001 is applicable to all types of assets and organisations of all sizes.

Context of the Organisation

The organisation’s asset management system and strategic asset management plan (SAMP) should be designed in accordance with its context and expectations of stakeholders.

Leadership

The organisation’s leaders must demonstrate their commitment to the success of the asset management system, ensuring that the asset management policy, SAMP and objectives are established, achievable and supported by relevant roles.

Planning

Planning must address risks and opportunities for the asset management system and, establish and achieve asset management objectives throughout the asset life cycle.

Support

The organisation must support the asset management system with the required resources, competent individuals, information and documented information to ensure its success.
