DIN EN 16001: Energy Management Systems in Practice - adelphi

ANNEx b: COMPARAtIvE tAblE DIN EN 16001
AND ISO 14001
Since the requirements for an EnMS were substantially developed from ISO 14001 and
ISO 14001 forms an important basis for DIN EN 16001, the following table illustrates the
relationship between ISO 14001 and DIN EN 16001, respectively. A corresponding overview
has already been developed within the framework of the ISO/PC 242 committee
and will be published on the homepage of the European Committee for Standardization
in the course of 2010. The following annex is essentially based on this overview,
which at present is only available in English.
As energy manager and energy experts of your organisation, the table serves as an
overview and orientation to review your operational situation with regards to the
introduction of DIN EN 16001. Even the parts of the EnMS, which are in principle
already fulfilled under ISO 14001, should once again be reviewed with reference to
the special situation of each company.
The first table consists of three main columns: 29
1) The requirements of DIN EN 16001
2) A comparison of these requirements with the relevant chapters of ISO 14001
3) Differences and necessary additions to ISO 14001
Literature tip
EnMS can also be integrated into ISO 9001. Detailed information on this can be found
on the website of the Austrian Energy Agency:

29 No legal guarantee is taken for the table. It is only a rough draft; the review of individual prerequisites is imperative.
