Strategically Manage Physical Assets to Maximize Value and Achieve Organizational Objectives
Physical and infrastructure assets represent critical investments that directly impact operational performance, financial outcomes, and service delivery. ISO 55001:2024 provides the definitive international framework for an Asset Management System, enabling organizations to align asset management activities with strategic goals. For businesses and public sector entities in Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and globally, implementing this standard transforms asset management from a technical maintenance function into a strategic, value-driven discipline. Intermax Consultancy offers expert guidance to achieve ISO 55001:2024 certification, helping you optimize asset performance, cost, and risk throughout the asset lifecycle.
What is ISO 55001:2024?
ISO 55001:2024 is the updated international standard specifying requirements for an effective Asset Management System. It provides a structured framework for organizations to establish policies, objectives, and processes to realize value from assets in achieving their strategic aims. The standard emphasizes the integration of asset management with organizational planning, financial management, and risk management. The 2024 revision reinforces strategic alignment and clarifies requirements for greater applicability across sectors. Certification demonstrates a mature, systematic approach to managing critical infrastructure, plant, equipment, and other physical assets.
