Certification in ISO 55001 for asset management assessors
Australia’s Asset Management Council has joined a worldwide partnership that has been formed to provide industry certification for asset management assessors. The certification will assure the quality of assessors and confirm their knowledge and comprehension in asset management systems.
Other stakeholders responsible for the initiative include ABRAMAN-Brazilian Maintenance Association, the USA Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals Certifying Organisation (SMRPCO) and the Plant Engineering and Maintenance Association of Canada (PEMAC).
Certification will include an exam and cover individual subjects in the GFMAM landscape to ensure that assessors have a comprehensive knowledge of asset management, effective methods of ISO 55001 implementation and how assets will continue to be managed. The Asset Management Council believes this is the first initiative where stakeholders require assurance around the domain knowledge of auditors and assessors, as well as being the first initiative created through a partnership between international peak bodies.
