ISO14000 The ISO14000 environmental management standards were created to help organizations reduce their impact on the environment. They concentrate on processes rather than products in a similar way to ISO9000. Certification is performed by third-party organizations and ISO19011 can cover both.
List of ISO series standards ISO Environmental management systems—Requirements with guidance for use ISO Environmental management systems—General guidelines on principles, systems and support techniques ISO Environmental assessment of sites and organizations ISO series (14020 to 14025) Environmental labels and declarations ISO discusses post production environmental assessment ISO Environmental performance evaluation—Guidelines ISO series (14040 to 14049), Life Cycle Assessment, LCA, discusses pre-production planning and environment goal setting. ISO terms and definitions. ISO discusses making improvements to environmental impact goals. ISO Environmental communication—Guidelines and examples ISO Measuring, quantifying, and reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions. ISO which specifies one audit protocol for both and 9000 series standards together.
