ISO 41001 - Facility Management System
What is ISO 41001?
ISO 41001 is the standard for a Facility Management System. It organises the management of buildings, infrastructure, maintenance services and workplaces so that they support the organisation's core activity efficiently instead of operating as a set of disconnected tasks.
Who is ISO 41001 for?
It applies to facility management companies, hotel groups, shopping centres, clinics and healthcare units, industrial plants, organisations with many sites across different locations, and public bodies with extensive building infrastructure.
Benefits of ISO 41001
- Lower operating cost across facilities
- Planned rather than reactive maintenance
- A measurable service level for building users
- Controlled management of contractors and subcontractors
- Better use of available space
- Support for energy and environmental targets
- A safer working environment
- Comparable performance data across facilities
Certification Requirements
The ISO 41001 management system must meet the applicable legal requirements concerning the business, such as fire safety, building safety and occupational health and safety legislation, as well as the requirements of the standard. A record of the facility portfolio and agreed service levels are required.
