Interest in ISO 55000

The company has reported significant interest from businesses that are keen to achieve the new international certification, which establishes a benchmark for managing assets with greater reliability, efficiency and safety.

Paul Barnfather, technical director at EA Technology, said: "The new standard was only launched in February but we’ve had over 50 enquiries from across different sectors in a very short space of time, coming to us for practical guidance and support to help their business attain ISO 55000.

"For a long time, the discipline of asset management was the preserve of corporations with large numbers of physical assets and hasn’t always been a key issue for other sectors. But what has benefited organisations such as utility companies for years can now be of benefit to all industries across the world.”
