ISO 41001:2018 Facility Management Management System
Facility Management (FM) integrates multiple disciplines to support the effectiveness and productivity of societies, communities, and organizations, as well as the way individuals and the built environment interact. Facility management affects the health, well-being, and quality of life of many societies and populations through the services it manages and provides.
The
ISO 41001 standard provides the foundation for a common understanding of facility management and offers consistent guidance that can be applied across economic sectors regardless of the size, activity, or operation of the organization, in both the commercial and public sectors, including government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Moreover, due to the standardized structure of management systems, it can be easily integrated with other management systems.
Based on the best international practices, the ISO 41001 management system standard forms the basis for the development and improvement of effective strategic, tactical, and operational FM systems.
The aim of the standard is to increase quality levels, better align services, strengthen communication, and promote productivity. Through its assessability and measurability, the system supports organizations and service providers in demonstrating compliance with facility management processes.
