iso 14000

1. Why ISO 14000?

2. What is ISO 14000
 The designation “ISO 14000” is a general term referring to a
family of standards concerned with "environmental
management".
 This refers to what the organization does to:
• Minimize harmful effects on the environment
caused by its activities, and to
• Achieve continual improvement of its environmental
performance.
 It is applicable to any business or organization, regardless, of
size, location or income.

3. Conti…
ISO 14000 is known as a "generic management system family
of standards" which means that it can be applied:
• to any organization, large or small, whatever its product
• to include business activities whether they are products or services
• to include all types of businesses
• to private, public, or governmental organizations
• The "Management system" refers to the organization's structure for
managing its processes - or activities - that transform inputs of resources
into products or services which meet the organization's objectives, such as
satisfying the customer's quality requirements, complying with
regulations, or meeting environmental objectives

4. HISTORY OF ISO 14000
• THE ISO 9000 & ISO 14000 are among the best known
standards and have the widest spread of use.
• After the success of the ISO9000 series of quality standards,
the International Standards Organization published a
comprehensive set of standards for environmental
management.
• In 1991, ISO formed the strategic advisory group on the
environment(SAGE), which led to the formation of technical
committee (TC) 207 in 1992 for national environmental
management standards.
N.B:India is a member of TC 207.
• The mission of TC 207 is to develop standards for an
environmental management system (EMS) which was
identified as ISO 14000.

5. Differences b/w ISO 9000 & 14000
The ISO 9000
• The ISO 9000 family addresses
"Quality management".
This means what the organization
does to fulfil:
1. the customer's quality
requirements, and
2. applicable regulatory
requirements, while aiming to
3. enhance customer satisfaction,
and
4. achieve continual improvement of
its performance in pursuit of these
objectives
ISO 14000
• The ISO 14000 family addresses
"Environmental management".
This means what the organization
does to:
1. minimize harmful effects on the
environment caused by its
activities, and to
2. achieve continual improvement
of its environmental
performance.

6. ISO 14000 EMS
• An environmental management system (EMS) based on the ISO
14000 standards is a management tool to improve the
environmental performance of the organisation.
• Provides a systematic way of managing an organization’s
environmental affairs.
• Is the aspect of the organization’s overall management structure that
addresses immediate and long-term impacts of its products, services
and processes on the environment.
• Gives order and consistency for organizations to address
environmental concerns through the allocation of resources,
assignment of responsibility and ongoing evaluation of practices,
procedures and processes.
• Focuses on continual improvement of the system

7. ISO 14000 Series
• It is a series of 21 related, auditable, International standards
and supplementary guidelines that apply to an organization's
environmental management system (EMS)
• First published in 1996 (and continually updated) by the
International Standards Organization(ISO).
• Through these standards a firm can manage the impact of its
products(goods and services) and processes on the quality of
the environment.
• The series is divided into two separate areas :-
1. Organizational evaluation standards
2. Product standards evaluation

8. Conti…
1) Organizational evaluation standards:- The
organization-oriented standards provide comprehensive guidance for
establishing, maintaining and evaluating an environmental management
system (EMS).

17. ISO 14001
• The ISO 14001 standard is the most important standard within the ISO
14000 series.
• ISO 14001 is an international standard against which your company's
environmental management system can be measured.
• Does NOT mean that products are more environmentally friendly, Does
mean have a documented EMS that is fully implemented and
consistently followed.
• It is the only standard in the ISO 14000 family that can be used for
certification by third party.all the other standards are for guidance.
• They are not product standards and sevice standards rather process
standards.ISO 14001 gives the requirements for what the organization
must do to manage processes affecting the impact of its activities on the
environment.
• ISO 14001:2004 is the latest, improved version. It replaces the old ISO
14001-1996 standard.

18. Conti……….
ISO 14001 is for environmental management.
This means what the organization does to:
1. minimize harmful effects on the
environment caused by its activities,
2. to conform to applicable regulatory
requirements, and to
3. achieve continual improvement of its
environmental performance.

19. Conti…..
• The ISO 14001 standard is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act-
Improvement cycle.
• It begins with the environmental policy, which is followed by
planning, Implementation and operation, checking & corrective
action, and management review.
• “Plan” what you will Do
• “Do” according to your Plan
• “Check” to see if you did what you planned
• “Act”, change or improve the part of your Plan or Do that did
not give you the results you intended

22. Worldwide Survey For Certification
• The worldwide total of
certificates to ISO 14000 at
the end of 2005 was 776
608.
• This was increase of 18 %
over 2004 when the total
was 660 132 certificates.
• Certificates had been issued
in 161 countries compared
to 154 the previous year.

23. Some Definitions
• In order to understand the requirements, a few definitions are necessary.
Environment is defined as the global surroundings in which an organization
operates and includes air, water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, humans,
and their interaction.
• Environmental aspect is defined as an element of an organization’s activities,
products, or services that can interact with the environment. Examples are
wastewater discharge, air emissions, and energy use.
• Environment impact is defined as any change, whether adverse or beneficial,
wholly or partially resulting from an organization’s activities, products, or services.
Examples are impacts on habitat, water supply, and soil erosion.
• Environmental objective is an overall environmental goal, arising from the policy
statement, that an organization sets for itself and which is quantified when
practical. They define how the policy will be achieved. For example, an objective
could be to control the temperature of the wastewater effluent.
• Environmental target is a detailed performance requirement and should be
quantified when practical. It needs to be met in order to achieve the objective. For
example the wastewater temperature should be controlled between 10 and 14
degrees centigrade.

25. Requirements
• These are the basic requirements that ISO 14001 expects organizations to
comply with all and that make up the standard. No exceptions.
• According to ISO, every ISO 14001 requirement must be
built into every EMS. However, the size and complexity
of environmental management systems vary quite a bit.
• The general requirements of the standard are as follow:
1. General requirements
2. Environmental policy
3. Planning
4. Implementation and operation
5. Checking and corrective action
6. Management review

26. 1. General requirements
• The General Requirement – “shall establish,
document, implement, maintain and
continually improve an EMS”
• In developing the EMS, keep it as simple as
possible. It will work better when it is easy to
follow and easy to understand.

27. 2. Environmental Policy
• Establishes basic guidance for making decisions on environmental issues.
• It provides a public commitment to environmental matters.
• It is the Foundation or basis for an organization’s EMS
• Top Management defines an “appropriate” environmental policy that is
used in setting and reviewing objectives and targets.
• Environmental Policy must commit to continual improvement, prevention
of pollution and compliance with regulations and other requirements.
• It should be Documented, implemented and maintained.
• Communicated to “all persons working for or on its behalf” (e.g.,
employees, contractors, volunteers, etc.)
• HOW SOME COMPANIES
COMMUNICATED THEIR POLICY
STATEMENT TO EMPLOYEES

28. 3. Planning
This area contains four topics-
i. Environmental aspect
Central feature of an organization’s EMS.
Careful evaluation of the effects an organization has on
the environment.
Prioritization of most important.
Allows organization to design a system to focus on
priority issues.
The organization shall keep this information up-to-date.
i. Legal and other requirements

usually annually, to ensure their effectiveness. There are
two types of training :
• General awareness
• & job competency.

31.  General Awareness
– Establish a procedure to make people aware of your environmental
management system.
 Job Competence
– Personnel performing the tasks which can cause significant environmental
impacts shall be competent on the basis for appropriate education, training
and/or experience.
iii. Communication
With regard to its environmental aspects and EMS, the organization shall
establish and maintain procedures for
a) internal communication between the various levels and functions of
the organization;
b) external communications -receiving, documenting and responding to
relevant communication from external interested parties.

 Procedures are required to identify & respond to potential
accidents & emergency situations
 In addition, the procedures should prevent the environmental
impact of these accidents and emergency situations.

34. 5. Checking And Corrective Action
This area contains four elements:
i. Monitoring and measuring
 The organisation is required to monitor and measure
the key characteristics of its activities in order to
assess its performance in meeting environmental
operations and target.
 Procedures must be in place to control, regularly
calibrate, maintain, and record all EMS equipments,
whether it belongs to the organisation, employee, or
an outside agency.
i. Nonconformance and corrective and preventive
action

to plans and is being properly implemented and mentioned.

36. 6.Management review
.
The organization’s top management shall,
at intervals it determines, review the
environmental management system, to ensure
its continuing suitability, adequacy and
effectiveness. Management must evaluate the
feedback data and the make improvement to
the system.

37. BENEFITS OF EMS
Operational Benefits
• Identify and correct problems internally before they are
discovered externally.
• Meeting the standards of different countries can be expensive.
ISO 14000 can reduce this effort by providing one standard.
• Will cut down on "bureaucracy" by eliminating conflicting national
standards and replace them with one internationally accepted
standard.
• Ensures greater employee involvement in business operations.
• Aid in developing and transferring technology within the
company.
• Will help to reduce pollution

38. • Employee health and safety can be improved, thereby improving
productivity, decreasing sick days, and reducing insurable risk.
• Insurance claims may be reduced, thus reducing the costs of coverage and
settlements.
• Reduce operating costs.
• Aids in creating a high quality, more motivated workforce.
• Reduced Injuries. The number of employee injuries, illness and associated
costs will be reduced with reduction of amounts of chemicals and
hazardous wastes on site.
Environmental Benefits
• Hazardous and nonhazardous waste minimization.
• Conservation of natural resources--electricity, gas, space and water with
resultant cost savings
• Aid in correction of worldwide environmental problems, such as
depletion of ozone layer.

39. Marketing
• Demonstrates to customers that the firm is meeting environmental expectations.
• Public relations benefit by being able to communicate a commitment to providing
a safer, cleaner, healthier environment for all concerned parties
• Gain awareness, recognition and understanding in worldwide markets.
• Profit from marketing "green" products.
• Provides a competitive marketing tool.
• Enhancing market share.
• Enhancing image.
• In Europe, Japan and other Asian countries, car manufacturers are continuing to
implement and register to ISO 14000.
• A company's products may appeal to customers seeking green products.
• Customers might favor companies with an EMS. These customers could be the
ultimate consumer or industrial customers. As large, multinational manufacturers
register to ISO 14000, they may favor suppliers with ISO 14000 registration.

40. Increased Profits
• Implementing ISO 14001 today can provide a basis for implementing the other
standards in the ISO 14000 series. This incremental approach can reduce overall
costs to implement ISO 14000 because of lessons learned in each phase.
• The quantity of materials and energy required for manufacturing a product may be
reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the product, material handling costs, and
waste disposal costs.
• Some companies have found that it costs more to run a compliance-driven system
than an EMS.
• An EMS can help reduce incidents of pollution and the associated expense of
recovery.
• Recycling manufacturing waste and unused inputs could increase revenues.
Recycling need not be within the same facility, but with another one that can use
the waste as input to their production. ISO 14000.

41. Financial
• Improves relationship with insurance companies resulting in obtaining pollution-
incident coverage at best possible rates.
• Satisfying investor / shareholder criteria.
• Help to reduce liability and risk.
• Process cost savings by reduction of input materials and energy.
• Long-term cost savings, including the areas of environmental control and cleanup.
It has been estimated that over $100 billion is spent annually in the United States
to comply with federal regulations pertaining to environmental control and
pollution cleanup .
• Primary cost savings will result from less chemicals and wastes, fewer chemical
spills and cleanups, less hazardous waste tracking and disposal requirements, and
a better overall management of environmental matters due to the total company
being involved in this management arena.

42. Social
• ISO 14000 helps create a common language and way of thinking about
environmental aspects which can help companies, communities, governments,
and organizations communicate and work together.
• Cleaner air, water, and soil.
• Longer resource life through reduced usage.
• Progress toward a sustainable culture.
• Less waste in landfills.
