Steps to EN 16001 Certification

If you’re new to BSI, don’t worry – the certification process is very simple.

1. Make contact
   Get in touch and tell us what you need, so we can sort out the best services for you. We’ll then give you a proposal detailing the cost and time involved.
2. Meet your assessment team
   We’ll assign you an assessor, who will be your main point of contact through the process – and beyond. They’ll have an excellent understanding of your business area and will support you as you move forward to the assessment and certification of your EnMS.
3. Consider EN 16001 training
   Whether you’re seeking to implement a management system or would like to increase your general awareness of the standard, there are a range of workshops, seminars and training courses available. Read more about EN 16001 Energy Management training.
4. Review and assessment
   We’ll do a desktop review of your management system against the requirements of EN 16001, and identify any omissions or weaknesses that need resolving before formal assessment. Once these have been addressed, we’ll conduct a full on-site assessment.
5. EN 16001 Certification and beyond
   Once the assessment has been successfully completed, we’ll issue a certificate of registration, clearly explaining the scope of your management system. The certificate is valid for three years, and your assessor will visit you regularly to help you make sure you remain compliant, and support you in the continual improvement of your systems.
