What Is ISO 14001?
The family of ISO 14000 standards are related to environmental management. The Environmental Management System standard, ISO 14001:2015, when implemented, is a strategic activity that helps manage environmental aspects, fulfil compliance obligations, and address risks and opportunities throughout your operations. It’s an effective environmental management standard that asks you to identify areas in which you can minimise your environmental impact and address these to spark a cycle of continuous improvement in the context of your environmental objectives. This will improve environmental problem areas, risks and even identify potential avenues of opportunity in your organisation.
As a part of the ISO family of standards, ISO 14001 can easily be integrated with other management system standards, most commonly ISO 9001, to ensure that you’re delivering quality products and services that take into account a range of environmental aspects.
How Do You Get Certified To ISO 14001?
STEP 1
Optional Gap Analysis
Performed by Best Practice, we evaluate your management system to each clause of the relevant standard. This will identify the level of compliance that your existing management system has.
Best Practice provides an assessment report outlining any faults in your management system that needs to be addressed prior to certification.
STEP 2
Stage 1 Assessment
The evaluation of your management system documentation, including policies, processes, management review records, scope and context as well as system implementation.
This sets the foundation for the stage two assessment.
STEP 3
Stage 2 Assessment
Best Practice needs to verify that the documented requirements of the standard are implemented across your business.
During an E-Audit an assessor will remotely partake in discussions with relevant individuals in your business.
Your management system is assessed and verified as being implemented.
STEP 4
Certification
Once your stage two assessment is verified and the process is complete, a 'Statement of Certification' is issued, confirming compliance with the relevant standard.
This certification is valid for a three-year period from the date of issue.
Regular surveillance assessments will be performed at a minimum of once every 12 months to maintain your certification.
