DIN EN 16001: Energy Management Systems in Practice - adelphi

ANNEx C: COMPARAtIvE tAblE DIN EN 16001 AND EMAS
ISO 14001 is an essential part of the EMAS-regulation, but as the EMAS regulation goes
beyond the regulations of ISO 14001, fewer additional requirements are necessary with
an already existing EMAS-validation when introducing DIN EN 16001.
In most cases, necessary changes are more about the
adaptation of special terms on energy consumption
and energy efficiency.
The German EMAS Advisory Board (Umweltgutachterausschuss-
UGA) has compiled a table which clearly
depicts the differences between EMAS and DIN
EN 16001. This table is available at the office of the
German EMAS Advisory Board (Umweltgutachter-
ausschuss- UGA) under the title – “Fulfilling the
requirements of DIN EN 16001 ‘Energy Management
Systems’ through EMAS III” (German: “Erfüllung der
Anforderungen der DIN EN 16001 ‘Energiemanagemetnsysteme’
durch EMAS III”). In the following, you
will find a summary of changes that still need to be
carried out when EMAS exists and DIN EN 16001 is
implemented. 30
30 According to the office of the German EMAS-Advisory Board, fulfilling the requirements of DIN EN 16001 “energy management systems” through
EMAS III, October 2009. No legal guarantee has been taken up for the correctness of the following table. It is only a rough draft; the review of
individual prerequisites is, however, imperative.
