All ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards are reviewed and revised regularly to make sure they remain relevant to the marketplace. The same goes for ISO 14001, the Environmental Management Systems (EMS) standard.
The newly revised version, which went into effect in September 2015, includes several important changes for organizations that already have this certification as well as for those looking to develop and implement an environmental management system.
With the deadline fast approaching (September 2018), many questions come up:
-
What are the main changes?
-
What do the changes really mean to the organization’s EMS?
-
What benefits can the organization expect with the new standard?
