Abstract

April 2005 marked the fifth anniversary of the adoption of ANSI/
MSE 2000, the Management System for Energy. As required by American
National Standard Institute (ANSI) procedures, this national standard
was revised and again approved by a national review board during the
year. To make the standard easier to understand and implement, the
format was revised to a process model based on the “plan-do-check-
act” process. This change keeps ANSI/MSE 2000:2005 compatible with
the current ISO 9001 (quality management) and 14001 (environmental
management) standards. This review of revisions includes the reason-
ing behind each change or addition and the application of changes. An
accompanying standard, The Guide to Implementing ANSI/MSE 2000, is
also presented and discussed.
