Service Overview

What is ISO 14001:2015?

ISO 14001:2015 is the international standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). It provides a framework for organisations to manage their environmental responsibilities, improve environmental performance, comply with laws like the Environment Protection Act 1986, and achieve sustainability goals.

The standard requires identification of environmental aspects and impacts, a legal compliance register, measurable environmental objectives, and continual improvement. Key focus areas include waste management, energy and water consumption, air emissions, and emergency response planning.

ISO 14001:2015 uses the Annex SL high-level structure, enabling easy integration with ISO 9001 (QMS) and ISO 45001 (OH&S) into an Integrated Management System (IMS). Certificate valid for 3 years with annual surveillance audits in Year 1 and Year 2, and recertification in Year 3.
