ISO/TC 251, the international technical committee that authors the ISO 55000 family of asset management standards, has published a case study profiling how Ampowr runs its certifications as one integrated system. The study was authored by NEN, the Dutch national standards body and is now publicly available in the committee’s case studies library.
Ampowr now sits in the ISO/TC 251 case studies library alongside Rijkswaterstaat, the US Army Corps of Engineers, Novo Nordisk, and Veolia.
ISO/TC 251 approached Ampowr directly. NEN then interviewed Ampowr Co-Founder Andrew Elwell about how the company operates five certifications as a single governance framework rather than five separate compliance silos. Ampowr holds certifications across ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, and ISO 55001.
What it means for BESS owners
A typical battery storage deployment splits responsibility across five or more vendors: hardware, software, trading, operations, and asset management. Contracts and audit trails multiply at every interface, and when a performance or safety event happens, the first question is which vendor owns it.
Ampowr’s model removes that question. One contract, one point of accountability, one audit trail across the full asset lifecycle. There is no boundary dispute to resolve before the problem gets fixed.
Why integration matters
BESS assets carry three kinds of risk at once: physical safety, digital integrity, and commercial performance. When those responsibilities are spread across separate vendors, the certification chain tends to break at the integration seam. That is the exact point where one company’s scope ends and another’s begins.
Keeping every function in-house closes that seam. Ampowr runs a single audit trail from firmware updates through to trading decisions. And, with no certification break at any point. Regulators, insurers, and grid operators are now applying infrastructure-grade standards to battery storage at pace. This ranges from NIS2 cybersecurity requirements to ISO 55001 asset lifecycle discipline. ISO/TC 251’s publication on Ampowr’s implementation of its certifications documents what that looks like when the standards are built as one connected system.
How Ampowr sets the standard
Ampowr offers robust energy solutions for European grid operators, energy traders, and asset owners. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, and ISO 55001 certifications and operates in compliance with the EU NIS2 directive.
