ISO 41001:2018

Facilities management (FM) is understood to suffer from a general lack of knowledge and awareness, thus the publication of these supporting documents to articulate “what it is” was seen to be extremely beneficial. ISO 41011:2017 describes facility management as an “organizational function which integrates people, place and process within the built environment with the purpose of improving the quality of life of people and the productivity of the core business”.
