ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems
What Is ISO 14001 Accreditation?
ISO 14001 is a base standard program in ANAB’s fee schedule.
Benefits of implementing ISO 14001 environmental management systems include potential reduction in process by-products and wastes; greater employee awareness about the environment and the environmental impact of their jobs; potential increased energy efficiency and energy conservation in design, production, and postproduction processes; creation of systematic structure for complying with environmental regulations; customer satisfaction/requirement; competitive advantage; ease of trade, avoiding non-tariff trade barriers; potential for improved market share; and improved image with community and environmental groups.
Please refer to the information about the accreditation process at How to Become an ANAB-Accredited Certification Body.
You can view the ISO 14001 application in .pdf format to understand specific requirements but the application process must be completed online via ANAB’s EQM database; first-time EQM users must register to create an account.
