This International Standard consists of guidance and recommendations and is not intended for certification, regulatory, or contractual use. Asset management – Requirements This International Standard specifies the requirements for an asset management system to optimally and sustainably manage physical assets and asset systems over their life cycles. This International Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to: a) establish an asset management system to optimally and sustainably manage its physical assets over their life cycles or over a defined long-term period; b) implement, maintain and improve the management of its assets; c) assure itself of conformity with its stated asset management policy and strategy, d) demonstrate conformity with this International Standard by e) making a self-determination and self-declaration, or f) seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as customers, or g) seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or h) seeking certification/registration of its asset management system by an external organization. This International Standard is applicable to all types of organization (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies, non-profit organizations), as well as to all sizes of organization (from small to medium enterprises through to multinationals).


NOTE 1 The management of physical assets is inextricably linked to the management of other asset types (for example, the optimal life cycle management of physical assets is heavily dependent upon information and knowledge, human assets and financial resources, and often has a significant impact on reputation and customer satisfaction); these other asset types are addressed within the requirements of this International Standard, insofar as they have a direct impact on the management of physical assets. NOTE 2 The organization can need to manage its asset s optimally for an indefinite period into the future i.e. in perpetuity; in such situations the organization can define the "long-term period" to be in alignment with the time horizon of its organizational strategic plan, including the life cycles of critical assets. Asset management – Guidelines on the application of ISO Asset Management Requirements Standard This International Standard provides guidelines for the application of the requirements specified in the ISO asset management requirements standard. It provides guidance on the establishment, implementation, maintenance and improvement of an asset management system and its coordination with other management systems. This International Standard does not prescribe mandatory approaches, methods or tools for the implementation of the requirements of the ISO asset management requirements standard, but rather seeks to aid understanding and implementation by means of examples and illustrations. This International Standard is applicable to all types of organization (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies, non-profit organizations), as well as to all sizes of organization (from small to medium enterprises through to multinationals). This International Standards does not create any additional requirements to those specified in the ISO asset management requirements standard. This International Standard consists of guidance and recommendations and is not intended for certification, regulatory, or contractual use. BSI has indicated their intention to have a first meeting shortly after ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) acceptance of this new work item. Therefore, it is important, should there be interest for the United States undertaking participating status in this committee, that ANSI be contacted regarding the formation of an accredited US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for this ISO committee.

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Call for Administrator and formation of an Accredited US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for a potential ISO Committee on Reuse of Treated Wastewater

The June 19, 2009 issue of STANDARDS ACTION announced that Israel (SII) submitted to ISO a proposal for an ISO standard on the subject of Treated Wastewater Reuse (TWW), with the following scope statement:

Standardization in the field of the reuse of treated wastewater The standard will deal with the requirements and processes involved in the development of health, environmentally viable and sustainable projects for the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture, landscape and industry. The standard will state the conditions necessary for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of such projects without endangering or causing damage to the health of the people affected by the projects to the environment, to the soil, or to the crops and to the hydrological situation in the area. The standardization process shall refer to the complex management of all the internal and external elements that affect or can be affected by the implementation of such projects and will refer to other aspects such as: • wastewater treatment plants: design, building, operation and maintenance requirements, • treated wastewater distribution and storage systems: design, building, operation and maintenance requirements, • irrigation systems: design, operation and maintenance requirements, • wastewater quality suitability to soils and crops • wastewater quality demands, specially in hydrological sensible regions This International guideline will deal with the management of projects, specifying requirements and procedures to integrate health and environmental aspects into design, operation and development processes of projects related to treated wastewater reuse and the products obtained from such projects. SII has indicated their intention to have a first meeting shortly after ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) acceptance of this new work item. Therefore it is important, should there be interest for the United States undertaking participating status in this committee, that ANSI be contacted regarding the formation of an accredited US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for this ISO committee.
