Asset Management System Certification (UNE-ISO 55001:2015)

An asset is any aspect of an organisation's activity that adds potential or actual value. This value can vary between different organisations and the interested parties thereof and may be tangible or intangible, financial or non-financial.

Asset management includes the balancing of costs, opportunities and risks for all assets considered throughout their life cycle.

The objective of the Standard UNE-ISO 55001:2015 is to introduce the policy, Management's responsibilities, resources and implementation, operational, measurement, analysis and improvement guidelines, which include the requirements an asset management system must comply with, in a manner similar to other organisational management methodologies.

Benefits for the organisation and users

  • Managed asset risk

  • Demonstrated social responsibility

​​​

UNE-ISO series standards 55000:2015​ are of general scope and apply to all types of organisations.

The asset management system in accordance with Standard UNE-ISO 55001:2015 is based on the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) ongoing improvement cycle. This standard has been designed in a similar way to other standards such as ISO 14001​ or ISO 9001​​​​, which makes it a complementary, compatible and integrable tool with other management systems.

​​​​

In the case of applying the UNE-ISO 55001:2015 standard, once the process is complete, the organization obtains the AENOR Asset Management System certificate.

There are two possible certifications for an organization's asset management according to the requirements of UNE-ISO 55001:

a) When assets are managed by their owner:
"The life cycle of the OWNER's assets at the centres for which an ADDRESS has been submitted" are certified 
b) When assets are managed by a company engaged by the owner to manage them:
"The life cycle of the assets managed by the AGENT at the OWNER's centres for which an ADDRESS has been submitted" are certified
