International Collaboration to Increase Worldwide Implementation
While countries develop and expand their national approaches to promoting EnMS
standards such as ISO 50001, they continue to seek out best practices by engaging in
international fora. The ISO process that produced ISO 50001 in 2011 is still very active
and is developing a range of accompanying standards and guidance that will support
international harmonization and dissemination of best practices for energy management
system implementation. ISO’s Technical Committee 242 totals 55 participating countries
and another 16 observer countries.
