Introduction
The IAM is delighted to be promoting the development of the discipline and working with the International Community to produce an International Standards Organization (ISO) Management System Standard for Asset Management.
We shall report recent developments and news both here and in monthly Newsletters and, of course, Assets magazine will carry occasional features.
ISO Project Committee 251 Asset Management
ISO Project Committee 251 (PC251) was established by the ISO Technical Management Board in August 2010 and held its first plenary meeting in Melbourne, Australia from 28th February to 4th March 2011.
The project is to produce three new Standards for Asset Management - with a deadline of early 2014:
ISO55000: Asset management - Overview, principles and terminology
ISO55001: Asset management - Requirements
ISO55002: Asset management - Guidelines on the application of ISO55001
The official Communiques of the PC251 meetings are available to download from the meeting summary page.
Getting Involved
Please note that the most effective way for you to contribute is to do so through your own country's Standards Body if there is one. Ideally they will be willing to become a participating member of this ISO Project Committee but we understand that this will not be the wish of all of them.
The UK Mirror Committee would still be glad to hear from any UK contributor who is willing and able to join the Committee, although you will need to represent a community of some relevant kind. Please contact Dave Adamson, BSI Committee Manager at David.Adamson@bsigroup.com
Contributing your input via the IAM
IAM Members have already had the opportunity to contribute comments before the first PC251 meeting and are welcome to continue doing so.
We may make some of the documents and comments available to Members as the Project progresses but ISO has strict rules governing the use of material and drafts of standards in the early stages.
