ANSI MSE 50028-1-2019 Accreditations

Third party conformity assessment to the Superior Energy Performance 50001TM (SEP 50001TM) Program is a scheme from the U.S. Department of Energy that is accredited through Accreditation Bodies. The SEP 50001TM Program (hereinafter “SEP”) allows organizations to demonstrate the continual improvement achieved in energy performance during the achievement period. SEP provides a transparent, globally accepted system for verifying energy performance improvements and management practices.

A central element of SEP is implementation of ISO 50001 Energy management systems—Requirements with guidance for use, with additional requirements for energy management and for achieving and documenting energy performance improvements. The purpose of this American National Standard, ANSI/MSE 50028-1:2019, is to specify the additional SEP energy management requirements beyond the ISO 50001 requirements that are necessary for SEP certification.

Annex A of this Standard is a normative annex (i.e. contains requirements) that provides SEP requirements related to the scope.  EP performance related requirements are set out in the normative documents listed in Section 2 of this standard. Conformance with ANSI/MSE 50028-1:2019 is required for SEP 2019 certification. SEP is applicable to organizations of all sizes and levels of experience in managing energy. Conforming to the SEP requirements helps organizations achieve their sustainability goals, providing organizations with tools to manage their energy consumption, related costs, and programs such as carbon footprint. In this Standard, the word “shall” is a requirement
