Mr. Dieter is the US Head of Delegation to ISO Technical Committee (TC) 251 developing ISO 55000 and encourages persons to contact him directly for information about the standard and its potential to add value to your organization at jdieter@sunflowersystems.com.

“Uptime Magazine is a voting member of the US Technical Advisory Group and you can count on us for future guidance”, says Terrance O’Hanlon, Publisher. “There is a 20-county effort being coordinated by the International Standards Organization (www.ISO.org) to create a new standard for an Asset Management “managing” System.  It will be titled ISO 55000 and if your company is already using ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001, we suggest that ISO 55000 should be on your near term radar.
