ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems (EMS) - Requirements with Guidance for Use

 

Overview

​​

ISO 14001, also referred to as “the standard” in the rest of this web page:

  • Is the cornerstone standard of the ISO 14000 series.

  • Specifies requirements for an Environmental Management System (EMS) that an organization can use to enhance its

      environmental performance

  • Is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner, thus

      contributing to the environmental pillar of sustainability

  • Is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature

  • Applies to the environmental aspects of an organisations' activities, products and services that the management determines

       they can either control, or influence, considering a life cycle perspective

  • Is compatible with ISO 9001 to facilitate the use of both ISO standards by organizations that wish to implement both, environmental and quality management systems, to benefit themselves and their customers and stakeholders.

 

ISO 14001:

  • Does not state specific environmental performance criteria.

  • Can be used in whole, or in part, to systematically improve environmental management

  • Is the only standard in the ISO 14000 family against which it is currently possible to be certified by an external certification authority (Registrar).

 

N.B. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001 are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's EMS and fulfilled without exclusion.

The standard helps an organization achieve the intended EMS outcomes, which add value to the environment, the organization itself and interested parties.  Consistent with the organization's environmental policy, intended EMS outcomes include:

  • Enhancement of environmental performance

  • Fulfilment of regulatory compliance obligations

  • Achievement of environmental objectives.

 

Learn about the key benefits of implementing an environmental management system using ISO 14001.

 

ISO 19011 is the common standard for auditing both, QMS and EMS, that are developed and implemented to conform with the requirements of  ISO 9001 and 14001 respectively.

Certification to ISO 14001

 

Checking that the Environmental Management System (EMS) is correctly implemented, and is effective in meeting the set objectives, is very important.

 

To ensure that the EMS is functioning properly, it is strongly recommended that an organization performs regular internal audits.

 

It is a business decision to:

  • Invite an independent certification body (registrar), to verify that the organisation's EMS is in conformity to the ISO 14001 standard; however, this is not a requirement.

  • Invite its clients to audit the EMS for themselves.
