Asset management. Guidelines for the application of PAS 55-1

Buy British Standards

Significant amounts of money and time are spent managing business critical assets each year. Yet to date there has been confusion over terminology and a variety of approaches have been employed. In many cases these approaches served well, but equally many of us will be aware of high profile failures that hit the headlines. Of course, it is likely that lesser known issues exist as well. Sub-optimal asset management arrangements reduce performance, increase costs and fail the customer.

It was clear to the Institute of Asset Management that there was a crucial need to provide a consistent framework for Asset Management systems. PAS 55: Asset Management meets this need. It is applicable to any organisation that depends upon its physical assets for the performance and continuance of its business operations.

Part 2 provides guidance to aid the understanding of the intent of the requirements in PAS 55 Part 1. It does not introduce any new requirements. It provides guidance on the establishment, implementation, maintenance and improvement of an asset management system and its coordination with other management systems.

PAS 55-2 does not prescribe mandatory approaches, methods or tools for the implementation of the requirements of PAS 55-1, but rather aids understanding and implementation by means of examples and illustrations.

This part of PAS 55 does not create any additional requirements to those specified in PAS 55-1.
