ISO 55000:2014

ISO 55000 Asset Management

Get more value out of your physical assets (plant, equipment, fleet and infrastructure) with a structured asset management system.

The ISO 55000 family (ISO 55000 principles and terminology, ISO 55001 requirements, and ISO 55002 implementation guidance) sets out how organisations should manage physical assets across their whole lifecycle (acquisition, operation, maintenance and disposal) to get the best value and lowest risk from them over time.

It’s most relevant to organisations with significant physical infrastructure: manufacturers, municipalities, utilities, logistics and fleet operators, mining and facilities-management businesses. An asset management system gives leadership a clear line of sight between asset condition, risk, and cost, rather than maintenance decisions being reactive or siloed.

Andreas Burger Consulting helps you implement an asset management system proportionate to your asset base, from a documented asset register and risk-based maintenance plan through to a full ISO 55001 certification, depending on what your business and its stakeholders need.

FAQ

Common questions about ISO 55000 Asset Management

That depends on your drivers. If a tender, regulator or major client specifically requires ISO 55001 certification, we'll build toward that. If you simply want the operational benefits, we can implement an asset management system without pursuing formal certification. We'll help you decide which makes sense.

Any organisation with significant physical assets to manage, such as manufacturing plant, vehicle fleets, municipal infrastructure, utilities, mining equipment or large facilities, where maintenance and replacement decisions carry real cost and risk.

They're complementary. ISO 9001 focuses on quality of output, ISO 14001 on environmental impact, and ISO 55000 specifically on the lifecycle value and risk of physical assets. Many clients layer ISO 55000 onto an existing ISO 9001 system.

No. ABC is not a Certification Body and does not issue certificates. We implement and prepare you for audit; independent accredited bodies certify. That separation, required under ISO/IEC 17021-1, protects the integrity of your certificate.
