Environmental management systems - General guidelines on principles, systems and support techniques (ISO 14004:2004)
ISO 14004:2004 provides guidance on the establishment, implementation, maintenance and improvement of an environmental management system and its coordination with other management systems. The guidelines in ISO 14004:2004 are applicable to any organization, regardless of its size, type, location or level of maturity. While the guidelines in ISO 14004:2004 are consistent with the ISO 14001:2004 environmental management system model, they are not intended to provide interpretations of the requirements of ISO 14001:2004.
Umweltmanagementsysteme - Allgemeiner Leitfaden über Grundsätze, Systeme und unterstützende Methoden (ISO 14004:2004)
Diese Internationale Norm gibt Hilfestellung zur Einführung, Verwirklichung, Aufrechterhaltung und Verbesserung eines Umweltmanagementsystems und dessen Koordination mit anderen Management-systemen.
ANMERKUNG Obwohl das System nicht dem Management von Arbeitssicherheits- und Gesundheitsbelangen dient, können diese einbezogen werden, wenn eine Organisation die Absicht hat, ein integriertes Managementsystem für Umwelt, Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheit zu implementieren.
Die Anleitungen in dieser Internationalen Norm sind auf alle Organisationen anwendbar, unabhängig von deren Größe, Art, Sitz und Entwicklungsstand.
Die Anleitungen in der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm stimmen zwar mit dem Umweltmanagementsystemmodell der ISO 14001 überein, sind jedoch nicht dafür vorgesehen, die Anforderungen der ISO 14001 zu interpretieren.
Systèmes de management environnemental - Lignes directrices générales concernant les principes, les systèmes et les techniques de mise en oeuvre (ISO 14004:2004)
L'ISO 14004:2004 donne des lignes directrices concernant l'établissement, la mise en oeuvre, la mise à jour et l'amélioration d'un système de management environnemental, en indiquant comment le coordonner aux autres systèmes de management existants. Ces lignes directrices sont applicables à tout organisme, indépendamment de sa taille, de sa localisation, de sa nature ou de son niveau de maturité. Les lignes directrices de l'ISO 14004:2004 sont cohérentes avec le modèle de systèmes de management environnemental de l'ISO 14001: 2004, mais n'ont pas pour objet de fournir une interprétation des exigences de l'ISO 14001:2004.
Sistemi ravnanja z okoljem - Splošne smernice o načelih, sistemih in podpornih tehnikah (ISO 14004:2004)
Ta mednarodni standard zagotavlja vodilo o vzpostavitvi, izvajanju, ohranjanju in izboljšavah sistema ravnanja z okoljem in njegovem povezovanju z drugimi sistemi upravljanja. Smernice v tem mednarodnem standardu veljajo za vse organizacije, ne glede na njihovo velikost, vrsto, lokacijo ali stopnjo zrelosti. Čeprav so smernice v tem mednarodnem standardu skladne z modelom sistema ravnanja z okoljem ISO 14001, niso namenjene razlaganje zahtev ISO 14001.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14004 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, Subcommittee
SC 1, Environmental management systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14004:1996), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
As concern grows for continually improving the quality of the environment, organizations of all types and sizes
are increasingly turning their attention to the environmental impacts of their activities, products and services.
The environmental performance of an organization is of importance to internal and external interested parties.
Achieving sound environmental performance requires organizational commitment to a systematic approach and
to continual improvement of an environmental management system (EMS).
The general purpose of this International Standard is to provide assistance to organizations that wish to
implement or improve an environmental management system and thereby improve their environmental
performance. This International Standard is consistent with the concept of sustainable development and
compatible with diverse cultural, social and organizational frameworks and systems of management.
This International Standard can be used by organizations of all types, sizes and levels of maturity, and in all
sectors and geographic locations. The special needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are
incorporated, and this International Standard accommodates their needs and promotes their use of an
environmental management system.
This International Standard is part of the series of environmental management standards established by
ISO/TC207. In this series, only ISO14001 contains requirements that may be objectively audited for
certification/registration purposes or for self-declaration purposes. This International Standard includes
examples, descriptions and options that aid both in the implementation of an environmental management
system and in strengthening its relation to the overall management of an organization. While the guidelines in
this International Standard are consistent with the ISO 14001 environmental management system model, they
are not intended to provide interpretations of the requirements of ISO 14001. For ease of use, the subclauses
of Clause 4 of ISO 14001 have the same numbering as in ISO 14004. However, the latter has extra subclauses
(e.g. 4.3.1.1 or 4.3.3.3), where detailed or additional guidance for an effective environmental management
system implementation is considered useful. Apart from this International Standard and ISO 14001, there are
numerous other environmental management standards in the series of International Standards established by
ISO/TC 207. A reference to and description of these International Standards can be found in the ISO publication
The ISO 14000 Family of International Standards.
This International Standard describes the elements of an environmental management system and provides
organizations with guidance on how to establish, implement, maintain or improve an environmental
management system. Such a system can substantially enhance an organization's ability to anticipate, identify
and manage its interactions with the environment, meet its environmental objectives and ensure ongoing
compliance with applicable legal requirements and with other requirements to which the organization
subscribes.
Examples and approaches are presented throughout this International Standard for illustrative purposes. They
are not intended to represent the only possibilities, nor are they necessarily suitable for every organization. In
designing and implementing or improving an environmental management system, organizations should select
approaches that are appropriate to their own circumstances. Environmental management is an integral part of
an organization's overall management system. The design of an environmental management system is an
ongoing and interactive process. The structure, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and
resources for implementing environmental policies, objectives and targets can be coordinated with existing
efforts in other areas (e.g. operations, finance, quality, occupational health and safety).
For ease of reading and understanding this International Standard, practical help and general guidance have
been separated out and are shown as boxed text.
