ALN Español Reporting on ISO 55001 Certification
One of the best aspects of the ALN 2021 Conference was the strong support of ISO 55001 certification from our colleagues in Central and South America. One panel, in Spanish by Carlos Eduardo Albarici, Enel Distribuição São Paulo, Senior Specialist of Management System HSEQ – Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality, revealed the certification approach of Brazil’s Enel energy company. Another panel, in English, focused on the multiple ISO 55001 certifications of AES South America. Jorge Mores, Norm & Standards Manager, AES South America, provided insights and understanding on the value of ISO 550001 certification. Both panels were made possible by ALN Patron Member ABS Quality Evaluations. See the programs and highlights at this link.
