The new ISO-55000 certification standard for asset management was designed and made known to the public, a tool that seeks to help companies become more competitive. This was stated by the president of Levin Global, Norberto Levin, during the IMEF Symposium 2013.
The new rule will be released in December 2013 and will take effect from February 2014. According to the executive, ISO-55000 is very similar to the PAS 55 rule, which was issued in 2004 by a British standards institution, because it has the same structure and is currently applied by some companies in the electricity and railway sector.
For its part, the Mexican magazine El Economista, recently published that in Latin America there is only one Brazilian electricity company that is certified based on this PAS 55 rule that is helping the management of assets.
Norberto Levin indicated that while ISO-900 helped many companies work as a team, it would complement it with efficient asset management.
