What are the components of the ISO 14000 standard?
ISO 14000
is not a quality standard. Think of an environmental standard being a wheel on a
bicycle, containing a family of environmental management standards.
ISO 14000 is the hub. The spokes of the wheel are:
 |
14001 the quality standard for an environmental
management system
|
|
|
14010 series auditing of standards
|
|
|
14020 series labeling of standards
|
|
|
14030 series performance and evaluation
of standards
|
|
|
14040 series life cycle analysis of
standards
|
|
|
14050 series terms and definitions
for environmental standards
|
An organization seeking to become registered to the
ISO 14001 standard should seek to:
-
Implement, maintain and improve an
environmental management system
-
Assure itself of its conformance with
its slated environmental policy
-
Demonstrate conformance to the requirements
of the standard
-
Seek certification/registration of
its environmental management system by an external organization.
