Facility management - Management systems - Requirements with guidance for use (ISO 41001:2018)

This International Standard specifies requirements to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and provide a documented FM management system within the context of managing an organization’s operational activities and risks.
The requirements specified in this International Standard are non-sector specific and intended to be applicable to all organizations, or parts thereof, whether public or private sector, and regardless of the type, size, and nature of the organization or geographical location. The extent of application of these requirements depends on the organization’s operating environment and complexity. This would also be influenced by the scale as well as and diversity of geographical location where such a standard would have immense benefits. The standard can be applied to both insourced and outsourced service provision of FM.
It is not the intent of this International Standard to imply uniformity in the structure of an FM  management system, but for an organization to design a system that is appropriate to its needs and that meets its interested parties’ requirements. These needs are shaped by legal, regulatory, organizational and industry requirements, the products and services, the processes and activities employed, the size and structure of the organization, and the requirements of its interested parties.
This International Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to:
   a) establish, implement, maintain, and improve an FM management system;  
   b) assure itself of conformity with its stated management policy;
   c) demonstrate conformity with this International Standard by:  
   1) making a self-determination and self-declaration, or
   2) seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as customers, or
   3) seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
   4) seeking certification/registration of its FM system by an accredited third party certification body.
All the requirements in this International Standard are intended to be incorporated into any FM management system. The extent of the application depends on factors such as the overall mission and policies of the FM organization, the nature of its activities, products and services and the location where and the conditions in which it functions. This International Standard also provides, in Annex A, informative guidance on its use.
NOTE This plan may refer to either a decision on a 1) totally outsourced service delivery, 2) a  combination of outsourced/out tasked services and internally provided services, or 3) total internally provided service delivery

Introduction
0.1 General
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.
In a globally-competitive environment, FM organizations and providers need to communicate among
themselves and with interested parties using common principles, concepts and terms, including
assessment and measurement of performance. This document is intended to raise the standard of care
and increase levels of quality, thereby stimulating organizational maturity and competition for the
delivery of FM.
The benefits of an integrated system standard for FM include:
— improved workforce productivity, safety and health and well-being;
— improved communication of requirements and methodologies among and between public and
private sector organizations;
— improved efficiency and effectiveness, thus improving cost benefits to organizations;
— improved service consistency;
— providing a common platform for all types of organizations.
This document is applicable to any organization that wishes to:
— establish, implement, maintain and improve an integrated FM system;
— assure itself of conformity with its stated management policy;
— demonstrate conformity with this document by:
— making a self-determination and self-declaration;
— seeking confirmation of its conformity by parties having an interest in the organization;
— seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization;
— seeking certification/registration of its FM system by an accredited third-party certification
body.
0.2 Process approach
This document applies the framework developed by ISO to improve alignment among its International
Standards for management systems.
This document promotes the adoption of a process approach when developing, implementing and
improving the effectiveness of a management system standard to enhance customer satisfaction by
meeting their requirements.

SIST EN ISO 41001:2018
ISO 41001:2018(E)

For an organization to function effectively, it needs to determine and manage numerous interrelated
activities. An activity, or set of activities, using resources and managed in order to enable the
transformation of inputs into outputs, can be considered as a process. Generally, the output from one
process directly forms the input to the next.
The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification,
interactions of these processes and their management to produce the desired outcome, can be referred
to as the “process approach”.
An advantage of the process approach is the ongoing control that it provides over the linkage between
the individual processes within the system of processes, as well as over their combination and
interaction.
When used within an FM system, such an approach emphasizes the importance of:
a) understanding and meeting the demand organization’s requirements through an integrated
planning process;
NOTE A demand organization is an entity which has a need and the authority to incur costs to have
requirements met. It is typically an authorized representative within a functional unit of the organization.
b) the relationship between the integrated planning process and Clauses 4 to 10 of the FM system;
c) the documentation associated with the requirements of the FM system and the subject of
certification assessments;
d) all of the above in the context of management levels;
e) continual improvement of processes based on objective measurement.
To preview the FM system, the core processes start with understanding and defining the following
criteria within a demand organization.
— Context of the organization: understanding and determining the appropriate FM system (see
Clause 4).
— Leadership: understanding organizational roles, responsibilities, policies and authorities (see
Clause 5).
— Planning: understanding risks, strategic objectives and current policies (see Clause 6).
— Support: understanding available versus required resources in the form of financial, human and
technology (see Clause 7).
— Operations: delivering integrated FM services (see Clause 8).
— Performance evaluation: benchmarking standards, monitoring and meeting target requirements
(see Clause 9).
— Improvement: reviewing benchmarked standards, identifying and implementing process
improvement initiatives (see Clause 10).
Reference is made to the demand organization and the organization throughout this document. This
distinction is made due to the variable nature in which FM services may be delivered through internal
staffing within the demand organization, external service providers, or a combination of the two.
The requirements of this document apply to the FM organization. However, as illustrated in Figure 1,
the FM organization and the demand organization need to work together to clearly define needs to
meet the core business strategy, and to develop FM policies and practices that will enable the core
business activities of the demand organization. The organization (and top management) refers to the
FM organization throughout, unless otherwise noted as the demand organization.

In addition, the clauses of this document can be considered through the process approach methodology
known as “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA), as is illustrated in Figure 1. PDCA can be briefly described as
follows.
Plan: establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with customer
requirements and the organization’s policies.
Do: implement the processes.
Check: monitor and measure processes and product against policies, objectives and requirements for
the product and report the results.
Act: take actions to continually improve process performance.
