What is BS ISO 55000

What is the Standard

ISO 55001 Asset Management is the new standard which supersedes PAS 55. The key difference between the two is that whereas PAS 55 focused on physical assets only, ISO 55001 reflects a consideration of all types of financial, physical and organisational assets. If your organisation has multiple assets at the heart of its’ business, you will know that an effective management strategy should contribute to better operating results, performance and improving your bottom line.

Achieving a Balance

The standard provides guidance and assurance that the right things are being done right, and that your asset management activities support the achievement of the mission and objectives of your organisation.
