What is ISO 14000?
ISO 14000 is a series
of standards describing
the requirements for
establishing and
maintaining an EMS in
an organization
The word ISO Stands for
International Organization for
Standardization
The series allocated for
Environmental
Management Systems
ISO 14000
What is ISO?
International Organization for Standardization
Develop standards not certify companies
Around 148 countries members

ISO Standards
ISO STANDARDS are documented
agreements containing technical specifications
or criteria to be used consistently as rules,
guidelines or definition of characteristics to
ensure that materials, products, processes and
services are fit for their purposes.
Say what you will do -
Do what you said -
Recognize any differences in what you planned
and what you did -
Act on those differences -
Ensure action was effective -
Prove it with documentation.

Issuance
The ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families are
among ISO's most widely known and
successful standards ever.
ISO 9000 has become an international
reference for quality requirements.
Most successful standards
ISO 14000 looks set to achieve at least as
much, if not more, in helping organizations to
meet their environmental challenges.

Environment
Surrounding in which an
Organization operates,including
air,water,land ,natural
resources,human,and their
interrelation
Treat the Earth well. It was
not given to you by your
parents. It was lent to You by
your children

What is an EMS
An Environmental Management System is that
facet of an organizations overall management
structure that addresses the immediate and
long term impact of your companys product,
services, and processes on the environment.
Environmental Management System
(EMS)
the part of the overall management
system that includes organizational
structure, planning activities,
responsibilities, practice, processes and
resources for developing, implementing,
achieving, and maintaining the
environmental policy

3.5, ISO 14001:1996

What ISO 14001 is Not
Is not a product standard
Does not establish values for
pollutants/performance levels
Does not establish test methods

Does not require to establish a final
performance goal.
Does not require to reach zero
emission
Does not require you to to disclose
audit results



Is a frame work for managing significant
environmental aspects you can control
Is for use by any company,any size,any
where in the world.
Is a voluntary consensus,private sector
standard.
Represent a shift to pro active thinking
