What is ISO 55001?

ISO 55001 is the internationally recognised standard for asset management systems (AMS). It supports businesses in developing a proactive, strategic approach to managing assets — from planning, acquisition, use, and maintenance to final disposal.

Designed for physical assets such as buildings, rail systems, fleets, plant, and infrastructure, ISO 55001 aligns asset performance with business goals, regulatory requirements, and customer expectations.
