Certify your energy efficiency approach

Six Benefits of ISO 50001 Certification

• Energy-intensive industries: ISO 50001 = reduced TURPE
• Companies with more than 250 employees: ISO 50001 = exemption from energy audits
• Energy Efficiency Service Companies: ISO 50001 = Credibility
• Local Governments: ISO 50001 = Setting an Example
• Service sector: ISO 50001 = leading edge

Drawing inspiration: ISO 50001 for industry

There are many initiatives designed to help manufacturers begin their energy transition. Among the most recent is the program  ADEME Industry Pact , whose Pro-SMEn program guides you toward ISO 50001 certification. Are you a manufacturer already committed to—or ready to commit to—ISO 50001 to streamline your energy management?

Are you in the energy-intensive category, consuming more than 10 GWh of electricity per year—for example, in the paper, metallurgy, chemical, or cement industries? Your TURPE rate is reduced by 20% to 90%, depending on the case, if you hold a ISO 50001 certification .

Have you consumed an average of more than 85 terajoules per year over the past three years (equivalent to 23.6 GWh)? Starting in October 2027, the  New Energy Efficiency Directive  will require you to implement an energy management system in accordance with the recommendations of the ISO 50001 standard. As has been the case since 2012, holding an ISO 50001 certificate exempts you from the quadrennial energy audit.

Apply for corporate energy audit certification

According to a decree dated November 24, 2014, an external service provider is deemed competent to conduct an energy audit if it holds a quality certification in each of the areas in which it performs the energy audit (buildings, industrial processes, or transportation), a certification that complies with a set of requirements regarding resources and expertise. Consulting firms, have your competencies recognized and don’t miss out on a market of 5,000 large companies for which energy audits have become mandatory!
