SERVICE SCOPE

What this service addresses

The critical topics this service addresses and the outcome we deliver in each.

Standard-aligned energy and laboratory system

contract-scoped

We help you build a management system aligned with ISO 50001 and ISO 17025 requirements; the accreditation decision rests with the accreditation body.

Accreditation-ready evidence file

evidence readiness

We organise method-validation, measurement-uncertainty and proficiency-test records as evidence ready for the accreditation assessor's review.

Measurable energy performance

measured target

With EnPIs and a baseline we make energy performance trackable through a baseline measurement, a target and a review cadence.

Accreditation-application decision ownership

published after approval

We own the accreditation-application file; the on-site assessment and accreditation decision rest with TÜRKAK and EA MLA member bodies.

Delivery model

Delivery approach

How we phase the service across delivery, governance, and connected service pillars.

  1. We begin with an energy review and baseline determination, defining Significant Energy Use (SEU) and designing EnPIs.

  2. On the laboratory side we establish method validation, measurement-uncertainty calculation and proficiency-test coordination.

  3. We prepare the accreditation-application process professionally against the application, pre-assessment and on-site assessment steps.

This service's depth on sector-specific technical and compliance topics.

EnPI and energy baseline

We build a normalised baseline from the last 12-36 months of data, production and operating parameters and design EnPI types.

Method validation

We run method validation with accuracy, precision, linearity, LOD and LOQ parameters in line with Eurachem guides.

Proficiency-test coordination

We coordinate proficiency tests with TÜRKAK-approved PT providers and support laboratory technical competence with an evidence file.

What It Solves

Energy-intensive organizations face increasing regulatory, commercial, and stakeholder pressure to demonstrate measurable energy performance improvements — ISO 50001 provides the management system framework to systematically reduce energy consumption, energy costs, and associated carbon emissions. Laboratory and testing organizations without ISO 17025 accreditation face exclusion from regulated testing markets, rejected test reports, and customer confidence challenges that accreditation resolves definitively. Our consulting practice serves both energy management and laboratory accreditation needs, often for organizations that must meet both requirements simultaneously in industrial and research settings.

Scope

ISO 50001 engagements cover the full EnMS lifecycle: energy review, energy baseline establishment, EnPI development, legal compliance register, significant energy use identification, action plan development, and certification audit support. ISO 17025 accreditation engagements cover technical system design (method validation, equipment calibration, measurement uncertainty, proficiency testing), quality system documentation, and TÜRKAK application management. Both programs can be combined in integrated management system implementations for organizations subject to both frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ISO 50001 certification mandatory for large companies in Turkey?

Turkish energy efficiency regulations require organizations consuming over 1,000 TOE (tonnes of oil equivalent) annually to conduct periodic energy audits and implement energy management practices. ISO 50001 certification is not universally mandatory but satisfies the energy management demonstration requirement under the Energy Efficiency Law (5627) and Energy Efficiency Regulation. Certified organizations also qualify for additional YEGM financial support mechanisms not available to non-certified entities.

What types of laboratories require ISO 17025 accreditation?

ISO 17025 accreditation is required or strongly expected in any context where test results are submitted to regulatory authorities or used in legal or conformity assessment decisions. This includes environmental testing laboratories, food testing laboratories, calibration laboratories, construction materials testing, medical device testing, and export commodity testing where importing countries require accredited test certificates. TÜRKAK accreditation is specifically required for test reports submitted to Turkish regulatory authorities.

How is energy performance measured and verified under ISO 50001?

Energy performance is measured through Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIs) — normalized metrics that track energy consumption relative to relevant variables (production output, weather, operating hours). ISO 50006 provides the methodology for establishing valid baselines and normalization factors. ISO 50015 covers measurement and verification (M&V) protocols for quantifying energy savings from improvement projects. We design EnPIs that are both statistically valid and practically useful for operations management.

What is proficiency testing and why is it required for ISO 17025?

Proficiency testing (PT) is an external quality control mechanism where laboratories analyze the same sample alongside other laboratories and their results are compared to assess measurement competency. ISO 17025 requires laboratories to participate in PT programs for all accredited test methods where PT schemes are available. TÜRKAK reviews PT participation records and results during accreditation assessments. We identify appropriate PT providers, manage participation scheduling, and support analysis of PT results to ensure z-scores remain within acceptable ranges.

Can ISO 50001 be combined with ISO 14001 in an integrated management system?

Yes. ISO 50001:2018 was revised to align with the ISO Annex SL high-level structure shared by ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and other ISO management system standards. This common structure makes integrated implementation significantly more efficient — the context, leadership, planning, support, and evaluation sections of both standards share the same framework, reducing duplicate documentation when the shared clauses are handled together compared to implementing each standard independently.

What is the typical timeline to achieve TÜRKAK ISO 17025 accreditation?

The TÜRKAK accreditation process is planned through a scoped timeline agreed during discovery from application submission to certificate issue. The process includes document review, on-site assessment, and a witness testing component where TÜRKAK assessors observe actual test execution. Pre-application preparation (system documentation, method validation, equipment calibration, PT enrollment) takes an additional scoped timeline agreed during discovery for laboratories building the system from scratch. We compress this timeline by providing structured gap assessments and pre-validated documentation templates for common test method categories.
