Certification for your organization's energy management system demonstrates your commitment to the latest energy manangement practices to your customers and is integral to improving your compeitiveness.

Purpose

Most energy efficiency in the industry is achieved through changes in how energy is managed in an industrial facility, rather than through installation of new technologies;

An energy management standard provides a method for integrating energy efficiency into existing industrial management systems for continuous improvement;

All existing and planned energy management standards are compatible with ISO 9000/14000;

Companies who have voluntarily adopted an energy management plan (a central feature of an EM standard) have achieved major energy intensity improvements.

DNV offers the following certification for your company’s energy needs:

• Energy Management Systems Certification (ISO 50001)

"On July 26, 2011 DNV Business Assurance was granted the full scope RvA accreditation without limitations. We are the first among our competitors to receive RvA accreditation for this standard,” points out Erie Koek, Global Service Responsible for EnMS certification.

Setting the Stage for the future:

Singapore set up the Inter-Ministeral Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD) to develop a national framework and key strategies for Singapore's sustainable development. The blueprint report highlighted several goals for energy efficiency, one of which is listed below;

Goal: Reduce Singapore's energy intensity (per dollar GDP) by 20% from 2005 levels by 2020, and by 35% from 2005 levels by 2030.

The IMCSD would provide financial incentives and set new standards to promote more investment in energy efficient technologies, designs and industrial processes. The IMCSD is also encouraging industries to adopt good energy management systems to enhance their efficiency.
