ISO 50001 certification in Ekurhuleni at a glance
Energy bills are the quiet line that factories in the R21, R24 and N12 industrial triangle watch hardest. The City of Ekurhuleni calls the area home to light and heavy manufacturing, and the cold stores and depots around OR Tambo International Airport and the Germiston hub run refrigeration and handling equipment for long hours. ISO 50001 gives energy a management system: an energy review, identification of significant energy uses, a baseline, performance indicators, objectives and action plans, and evidence that performance improves over time. Sterling helps you meter and analyse what you have, set the baseline, and prepare for an accredited certification body. Served from Sterling's Johannesburg office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included.

ISO 50001 in Ekurhuleni: questions clients ask
What is the first step toward ISO 50001 for an Ekurhuleni plant?
An energy review: list every energy source, find the significant energy uses such as furnaces, compressors and refrigeration, and set a baseline against which improvement can be measured. Without sub-metering you may need to estimate at first, then improve the data. The review also shows where quick savings sit.
Do cold stores near OR Tambo benefit from ISO 50001?
Often, because refrigeration is usually the largest load. A system helps a cold store track consumption per pallet or per cubic metre, compare sites and show customers a controlled cost base. The certificate itself is voluntary and customer-driven, so decide on scope with your commercial team.
