Energy Professionals International (EPI) ISO 50001 Lead Auditor Certification: EMWG partners came together to create the EPI ISO 50001 Lead Auditor Certification to establish a standardized and high level of knowledge and skills for ISO 50001 Lead Auditors globally. The EPI ISO 50001 Lead Auditor certification is consistent with ISO/IEC 17024 and ISO 50003. The credential is being updated to align with the 2018 revision of the ISO 50001 standard.
EMWG governments established a consensus-based international certification scheme and international exam for the ISO 50001 Lead Auditor, including a job task analysis and general principles concerning its implementation. The ISO 50001 EnMS standard has a dual focus on the development of an EnMS and data-driven improvements in energy performance. This dual focus requires a set of skills in the business processes of a management system and the technical requirements of energy performance that are unique in the field of conformity assessment. The effectiveness of ISO 50001 requires auditors with these skills. This certification addresses the global shortage of qualified professionals with these critical skill sets.
The EPI ISO 50001 Lead Auditor certification exam is available from the Institute for Energy Management Professionals (IEnMP), which is a non-profit organization currently licensed to offer the certification. The exam is now more widely available at test center locations worldwide through IEnMP’s international test delivery platform. Governments interested in promoting the certification in their own country are encouraged to contact Energy Professionals International, which is a committee under IEnMP that maintains the certification scheme.
Get Involved: Management system experts and energy professionals interested in obtaining EPI ISO 50001 Lead Auditor certification should contact the Institute for Energy Management Professionals to learn how to qualify for the exam and to find the nearest test center. Governments interested in conducting outreach about the EPI ISO 50001 Lead Auditor certification may visit the EPI website or contact the EMWG for more information on how to participate.
