This guide is designed to be read and used side-by-side with the ISO 55001:2013 standard itself.

ISO 55001 contains over 70 ‘shall statements’ that, for certification purposes, will require supporting evidence. The following table identifies each such ‘shall statement’ in part, provides notes and example evidence relevant to the statement, and then a typical artefact (document etc.) in which such evidence might be found. There is then room for the reader to list artefacts relevant to their organisation, as well as what successful implementation of the shall statement would look like in their
organisation. The table is laid out as such:

0.0 Example ISO Section Header (X Parts)

Part X of X 

Example part ISO ‘shall’ statement
Note Further explanation or description of the above shall statement
Evidence Example Evidence or proof of satisfying the shall statements
ISO Artefact Specific typical document in which the shall statement is evidenced
Your Organisation Artefact Use your notes function to name document/s relevant to their organisation, in which the shall statement is evidenced
If this shall was implemented, what would success look like in your organisation? Use your notes function to describe what successful implementation of the shall statement would look like in their organisation

It is not possible to document artefact names relevant to every industry and organisation; therefore each organisation should use the table as the basis of determining its relevant artefacts for certification purposes.
