UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD

What is ISO 41001:2018?

ISO 41001 specifies requirements for a facility management system that helps organisations deliver effective and efficient services supporting people, places, and core business objectives.

NEC translates the framework into clear responsibilities, documents, controls, records, and improvement activities that fit the organisation’s actual operations.

Current reference: ISO 41001:2018 remains the current published edition, with the 2024 climate-action amendment applying.
