About ISO 14000
ISO 14000 is a series of environmental standards for companies to use to manage their impact on the environment. These standards, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provide a framework for companies to follow concerning their effects on the environment. The standards include many environmental disciplines and foster international associations for industrial practices to promote economic gain without harming the environment. The ISO14000 series standards include the following:
- ISO 14004 provides information on the development and implementation of EMS
- ISO 14010 outlines environmental auditing practices
- ISO 14011 guidance on EMS (Environmental Management Systems)
- 14012 information for auditors concerning ISO qualification
The breakdown of the standards is as follows:
- Environmental Management System (Standards)
- ISO 14001 - Environmental Management Systems (EMS) – Outlines specifications used to guide company practices
- ISO 14004 - Environmental Management Systems – Outlines general principles, systems and techniques to promote environmental practices
- Organizational Evaluation Standards
- ISO 14010/11/12 - Guidelines for Environmental Auditing - General principles/Audit procedures/Qualification criteria for environmental auditors.
These documents are the guidelines that environmental auditors must satisfy. There are other ISO 14000 standards that deal with the assessment of environmental sites, eco- labeling, performance and life cycle assessment (LCA).
