a. What is Energy Management System Certification (EnMS)?

"Management system" is a set of inter-related or interacting elements (e.g. organisation structure, planning activities, staff responsibilities) to help your organisation establish policy and objectives and achieve these objectives.

"Management system certification" is an attestation of the management system by a third party (i.e. "certification body") engaged by your organisation.

On the environmental protection front, the International Organisation for Standardisation published the international standard ISO 50001 for EnMS in 2011 to support organisations to improve their energy performance through a systematic approach. Certification bodies can provide certification services based on this standard for these organisations.
