AMBoK Publication 001: Companion Guide to ISO 55001 is published by the Asset Management Council to assist asset management practitioners in understanding the implementation of ISO 55000 and specifically ISO 55001.
This document is designed to:
- provide clarity on the scope of the ISO 5500X Suite of Standards;
- assist with the interpretation of requirements of the standards;
- provide guidance to organisations on typical criteria evidence to meet the requirements of ISO 55000 and 55001; and
- act as a record of the current status of requirements for the purpose of collecting broader stakeholder input.
This guide is not intended to provide specific industry sector applications or audit criteria.
About the Publication
An important part of the Asset Management Council’s work over 2012 / 2013 has been our active participation in the ISO committee (ISO PC 251); these standards will have significant implications for our members and industry in general, both in Australia and overseas. The Asset Management Council intends to be in the fore front of assisting members and the broader industry in the implementation of these ISO standards, including the development of tools such as his Companion Guide to ISO 55001. We commend this practical guide to you as a key source of advice on applying the ISO standards to your organisation.
The Asset Management Council is also able to bring a different perspective to ISO 55001, via a framework in which asset management can be understood and implemented, namely:
- Asset Management Concept Model;
- Asset Management System Model;
- Organisational Systems Model; and
- Capability Delivery Model (refer to Annex C).
These models combine to form a comprehensive asset management framework as a reference for asset management professionals and organisations (see back cover). For more information on the Framework for Asset Management, refer to the AMBoK Publication 000: Framework for Asset Management (2nd edition).
