ISO Press Release
A new article has been jointly developed by ISO/TC-251 and ISO/TC-267 and released internationally on 26 June 2018 . Click here to read the press release. The paper highlights the important interrelationship of two management system standards developed to improve overall organizational performance:
- ISO 55001, Asset management – Management system – Requirements
- ISO 41001, Facility management – Management systems – Requirements with guidance for use
According to ISO 41011:2017 Facility Management (FM) is an “organizational function which integrates people, place and process within the Built Environment with the purpose of improving the quality of life of people and the productivity of the core business”
Click here for more information https://committee.iso.org/home/tc267
The SABS Technical Committee (TC 267) for FM has decided to retain SANS1752:2017 (Strategic Facilities Management System- Requirements with guidelines) as the SA standard notwithstanding the recent publication of ISO 41001:2018 (Facility management —Management Systems— Requirements with guidance for use.)
While similar in the sense that both of these standards address the FM Management System, the standards also contain some important differences. Other considerations that influenced the TC’s decision were the fact that SANS 1752 was already known in the local market and had already been specified for compliance in a DPW tender, that it would be easier to implement while keeping the cost of compliance affordable. It was decided that the SANS standard would be better suited to the greater majority of local industry players, both providers and demand organisation, and that it had greater potential for promoting growth in the local industry. While it is acknowledged that there may be local practitioners that may be compelled to implement ISO 41001 due to cross border operations or being part of a global organisation, the TC had to consider what was ultimately best for the wider industry.
It is anticipated that with the experience of implementation, these SANS and ISO standards may well converge to the extent where the adoption of a single standard may be likely over time.
