ISO 50001:2018 Certification in Iraq – Energy Management System (EnMS)

What is ISO 50001:2018 Certification and Why It Matters in Iraq?

ISO 50001:2018, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and endorsed by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), provides a framework for developing an Energy Management System (EnMS) that helps organizations use energy efficiently and sustainably. It follows the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle to ensure continuous energy performance improvement.

 

In Iraq — a nation heavily reliant on oil, gas, and industrial operations — ISO 50001 is vital for controlling energy costs, enhancing sustainability, and supporting the government’s national energy-efficiency initiatives under the Iraqi Accreditation System (IQAS) and Energy Regulatory Authorities. AGS IRAQ, an American-accredited certification body, has been certifying industrial and commercial clients since 2012, empowering them to integrate sustainable energy practices and improve competitiveness.
