From consultation with stakeholders, it has become clear that members and stakeholders of the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management (GFMAM) Member Societies are seeking assistance in achieving results from the ISO 5500X Standards. In particular, organisations require competent and capable people – who may be employed as staff or brought in from external organisations – to assess against, or comply with, ISO 55001.
The Competency Specification for an ISO 55001 Asset Management System Auditor / Assessor sets out the minimum knowledge and comprehension specification for personnel to audit or assess to ISO 55001.
Each GFMAM member incorporates this Specification as part of their asset management framework.
These competency requirements have been created to form the baseline to assure the competence of people who audit or assess organisations to ISO 55001. These competency requirements conform to, at least, the requirements and recommendations in ISO 17210-5 and ISO 19011:2011.
