ISO 46001 Water Efficiency
With an ISO 46001 water-efficiency management system we manage water use measurably and link objectives, monitoring and continual improvement to your operations.
What is ISO 46001?
ISO 46001 organises water-efficient use through a management-system approach. It complements water-footprint measurement (ISO 14046); the aim is to systematically manage use, losses and improvement actions.
What's included
- Water inventory, meters and boundary definitions
- Water performance indicators
- Objectives, action plan and ownership
- Leak / loss analysis and efficiency projects
- Documentation, internal audit and management review
- Certification audit readiness
How we proceed
- Current water use and system gap analysis
- Establish policy, scope and indicator set
- Implementation, training and monitoring routine
- Internal audit, corrective action and certification
How we support you
We build ISO 46001 together with water-footprint and operational data—aiming for a management routine that cuts water use on site, not paperwork alone.
Frequently asked questions
How does ISO 46001 differ from ISO 14046?
ISO 14046 measures the water footprint and assesses impacts; ISO 46001 builds a management system for efficient water use. They are complementary.
