ISO
14000
The ISO 14000 series of environmental management standards was developed
by the ISO/TC 207 convened in 1993. Its work was based upon previous
consultations that had taken place between the ISO and the IEC's
(International Electrochemical Commission) Strategic Advisory Group
on the Environment (SAGE) which was itself convened in 1991. It
set out to create the framework of the fundamental generic elements
that would form the basis for a series of internationally recognized
environmental standards, which it completed and published in 1996.
The ISO 14000 series of standards represents the essential requirements
that every enterprise needs to address in order to control and minimize
the impact that its operation, and resulting goods and services,
has on the environment. These requirements make up the standards
that comprise the environmental management system and their generic
nature allow for their application in any type of organization.
The management structure that this standard develops within an organization
allows the organization to set goals and targets for conforming
to the environmental regulations that are required of its industry.
Like the ISO9000 Series, this standard has gained acceptance worldwide
due to its capacity to be audited by an independent, third party.
This allows the required regulatory bodies to objectively measure
whether or not the organization is meeting the standards required
of them, even though the ISO 14000 series of standards does not
specify what those regulations are, since this is normally the job
of governments and regulatory bodies. If it were to specify what
the regulations were, then a different and unique system would be
required for every industry defeating the purpose of having a universally
applicable environmental management system. Instead it provides
the organization with a management tool that gives it a framework
to ensure compliance with all of its external environmental requirements,
as well as any internal policies and strategies it has for addressing
these issues. It makes sure that these are followed successfully,
documented and available for review by interested parties.
