TS ISO 46001/Amd 1

TS ISO 46001/Amd 1. OFFICIAL SCOPE IS UNAVAILABLE. This amendment updates the TS ISO 46001 framework for water efficiency management systems with climate action changes. In general technical terms, a water efficiency management system is a management approach for tracking, reducing, and continually improving water use across an organisation. It sits within the broader discipline of management systems, where performance is organised through planning, monitoring, review, and improvement.

What water efficiency management systems address

As a technical subject, water efficiency management treats water as a measurable resource rather than an unnoticed utility input. Typical management-system thinking in this area includes identifying significant water uses, collecting consumption data, setting objectives, and maintaining an improvement cycle. This is especially relevant in manufacturing, services, buildings, and infrastructure operations, where water use can often be better understood and managed through structured oversight.

What an amendment means here

The designation Amendment 1 shows that this is not a standalone full standard but a change document that updates the base standard. That means it is associated with climate action-related changes to the parent text, while the exact clauses, methods, or quantitative provisions changed cannot be inferred from the listing alone. In practical terms, such an amendment helps align the underlying standard more closely with evolving environmental and climate-related management expectations.

• A management-system approach to water use
• Structured measurement, monitoring, and continual improvement
• An amendment document tied to climate action updates
• A complementary document rather than a standalone full standard
