Standards – a strategic pillar in managing the energy crisis in the Republic of Moldova

In the context of the energy crisis, international and European standards adopted at the national level provide effective solutions for reducing energy consumption and increasing economic resilience.

The ISO 50000 family of standards provides organizations with a robust framework for optimizing energy use, reducing costs, and improving performance through monitoring and data-driven decision-making.

In the buildings sector, energy performance standards contribute to reducing consumption. In this regard, SM CEN ISO/TR 52016-4:2025 provides guidance for assessing energy needs for heating and cooling.

At the same time, business continuity standards support the management of risks associated with energy disruptions and help maintain organizational operations.

The Institute for Standardization of Moldova highlights the role of harmonized national standards in strengthening energy security. Standards in this field can be purchased from the online store of the Institute for Standardization of Moldova: https://shop.standard.md/
