AS ISO 41001:2019 PDF
The objective of this Standard is to specify the requirements for a facilities management (FM) system when an organization: needs to demonstrate effective and efficient delivery of FM that supports the objectives of the demand organization; aims to consistently meet the needs of interested parties and applicable requirements; and aims to be sustainable in a globally-competitive environment.
Facility management (FM) integrates multiple disciplines in order to have an influence on the efficiency and productivity of economies of societies, communities and organizations, 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.
While FM has such a broad impact, recognition of its principles and practices at a global level has been lacking. This document provides the basis for a common interpretation and understanding of FM and the ways in which it can benefit organizations of all kinds.
The development of the market for FM services would be enhanced by the presence of a common global structure and supporting standard. The sector benefits from a common basis upon which FM can be assessed and measured. This is the primary driver for, and purpose of, this document.
