What is ISO 14001 Certification?
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies an Environmental Management System framework against which a corporation is often certified by a 3rd party. ISO 14001 Standard is taken into account the inspiration document of the whole ISO 14000 series. ISO 14001 certification in United States also can be used as a guide to upgrade your company’s present environmental management system in accordance with an internationally recognized set of requirements.
The procedures and elements of the ISO 14001 certification are supported by sound environmental management principles. It contains only those requirements which will be objectively audited, and addresses the elemental aspects of a company’s operations.
Environmental Management System :
Of all the standards within the ISO 14000 series, ISO 14001 is the standard that specifies the needs for an organization’s EMS. The Environmental Management System document is the central document controlling the interaction of the core elements within the organization, and provides a third-party auditor with the key information necessary to know the environmental management systems in place. It’s a “tool” that permits a corporation of any size or type to regulate the impact of its activities, products or services on the environment. As within the case of ISO 9001, the key to a successful ISO 14001 EMS has documented procedures that are implemented and maintained in order that they describe environmental goals. ISO 14001 standards require sites to document and make an Environmental Policy available to the general public. Additionally, procedures should be established for endless review of the environmental aspects and the impacts of products, activities, and services. Management review process must be in place to make sure top management’s involvement within the assessment of EMS.
WHAT HAPPENS AT AN ISO 14001 CERTIFICATION AUDIT?
Six to eight weeks after your gap analysis (when we benchmark your current practices against the standard), one among our team members will visit you to certify your improved system against the quality.
Once you are certified, we’ll provide you with a certificate. We’ll also offer you access to our exclusive online client area and supply you with a letter to be ready to announce to your clients and key stakeholders.
There are five steps resulting in ISO 14001 registrations:
- Gap Analysis
This is the review of the corporate’s existing program to work out the changes the company must initiate so as to evolve its environmental management system to ISO 14001 Standard requirements.
- Initial Implementation
Implementation of an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System requires a corporation to:
*Develop an implementation strategy (including selecting a registrar if the corporate goes to the third-party registration).
*Update or redesign documentation (written policies, programs, procedures, forms) in order that they align with ISO specifications.
*Train personnel and communicate with other parties as required to implement the revised EMS, and
Develop measuring, corrective action; internal audit and management review procedures (if not already in place).
*Pre-Registration Internal Audits
Registration
The selected registrar performs an EMS registration audit to check for conformance of the company’s EMS to the needs laid out in ISO 14001 Standard.
