Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes nationaux
de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en général
confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire
partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d’approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document a
été rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2 (voir

Asset management — Overview, Principles and Terminology
1. Scope
This document provides an overview of:
- asset management, its principles and terminology;
- benefits from asset management;
- the asset management system;
- the relationship between asset management the asset management system and assets;
- asset management improvement and maturity.
This document can be applied to all types of assets and by all types and sizes of organizations.

NOTE 2 Throughout the set of asset management standards produced by ISO/TC251, the term “asset
management system” means a management system for asset management (rather than a management system for
assets).
2. Normative reference
There are no normative references for this document.
3. Overview of asset management
3.1. Introduction
Asset management is the coordinated activity of an organization to realize value from its assets; and an
asset is an item, thing or entity that has value, or potential value, to that organization.
Asset management applies across the entire organization at all levels and across all departments. Asset
management is a multi-disciplinary activity and everyone in the organization and its supply chain
should have some understanding of the organization’s purpose, objectives, and the value it seeks.
Long-lived assets may span multiple changes in organizational leadership. So, the realization of value
requires a long-term view and continuity of stewardship, in line with organizational objectives. A long-
term view allows the organization to decide what assets cost and deliver, in the context of the strategic
view derived from organizational objectives.
Effective asset management provides assurance for the achievement of organizational objectives and
realization of organizational sustainability through value preservation and value creation from
investing in, utilizing, caring for, and disposal of assets. Key benefits are described in Clause 4.
3.2. Principles
Principles represent a basic belief, theory or rule that has a major influence on the way something is
done. The following principles, taken together, are a foundation for understanding and implementing
asset management. These asset management principles are enablers and drivers of asset management.
Principles help understand the purposes of asset manageme
