The ISO 14000
is a standard for environmental management systems
that is applicable to any business, regardless of size, location or
income. The aim of the standard is to reduce the environmental footprint
of a business and to decrease the pollution and waste a business
produces. The most recent version of ISO 14001 was released in 2004 by
the ISO which has representation from
committees all over the world.
The major objective of the ISO 14000 series of norms is "to promote
more effective and efficient environmental management in organizations
and to provide useful and usable tools - ones that are cost effective,
system-based, flexible and reflect the best organizations and the best
organizational practices available for gathering, interpreting and
communicating environmentally relevant information". The intended end
result is the improvement of environmental performance.
It offers source of guidance for introducing and adopting
environmental management systems based on the best universal practices,
in the same way that the ISO 9000 series on quality management systems,
which is now widely applied, represents a tool for technology transfer
of the best available quality management practices.
The ISO 14000 environmental management standards exist to help
organizations minimize how their operations negatively affect the
environment. In structure it is similar to ISO 9000 quality management and both can be
implemented side by side. In order for an organization to be awarded an
ISO 14001 certificate they must be externally audited by an audit body
that has been accredited by an accreditation body. In the UK, this is
UKAS. Certification auditors need to be accredited by the International
Registrar of Certification Auditors. The certification body has to be
accredited by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board in the USA, or
the National Accreditation Board in Ireland.
