ISO 41001:2018 Facility Management — Management Systems

ISO 41001 Facility Management (FM) integrates multiple disciplines in order to have an influence on the efficiency and productivity of economies of societies, communities and organisations, as well as the manner in which individuals interact with the built environment. FM affects the health, well-being and quality of life of much of the world’s societies and population through the services it manages and delivers.

Thus, ISO 410001 is an organisational function which integrates People, Place and Process within the built environment with the purpose of improving the quality of life of people and the productivity of the core business.

ISO 41001:2018 was developed for organisations that incorporate or run facilities management systems which have the option of introducing compliance with the new standard into their business.

The standard was developed to further acknowledge the rapid growth and increased complexity of the facilities management market. It is not sector specific and is intended to be applicable to all organisations or parts of organisations, whether public or private sector, regardless of the type, size and nature of the organisation or geographical location.
