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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, in
collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/
SS S26, Environmental management, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 14050:2009), which has been technically
revised. The fourth edition is structured differently from the third edition. It presents a more generic
vocabulary of environmental management terminology.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
Communication is important in the implementation and operation of environmental management
systems. This communication will be most effective if there is a common understanding of the terms used.
To simplify the harmonization of terms and definitions in the field of environmental management, each
terminological entry in this document contains a generic term and its definition. Notes to entry and
examples have been included only in a few cases to provide additional information or clarification.
The terminology is arranged in subclauses, each representing a specific sub-domain. The sequence of
the term entries corresponds to the concept diagrams in Annex A.
This document has been developed in close cooperation with the committees and working groups
involved in the development and revision of the ISO 14000 family of standards. A list of published
documents in the ISO 14000 family of standards is presented in the Bibliography.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 14050:2009), which has been technically
revised. The fourth edition is structured differently from the third edition. It presents a more generic
vocabulary of environmental management terminology.

Introduction
Communication is important in the implementation and operation of environmental management
systems. This communication will be most effective if there is a common understanding of the terms used.
With the aim of simplifying the harmonization of terms and definitions in the field of environmental
management, each terminological entry contains a generic definition. Notes to entry and examples have
been included only in a few cases. Standards developers may add notes to entry and examples as needed
to adapt each entry to serve the purpose of each individual document.
The terminology is arranged in sub-clauses, each representing a specific sub-domain. One of these sub-
clauses (3.1) contains terms and definitions intended to be used in all management system standards.
The sequence of the term entries corresponds to the concept diagrams in Annex B.
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Annex L (previously Annex SL of the ISO Supplement), “Proposals for
management system standards” includes terms and definitions to be used in all management system
standard. This is an important terminology source for this document.
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Annex M (previously Annex SP of the ISO Supplement), “Policy for the
development of sector-specific management standards and sector-specific management system
standards (MSS)” stipulates rules for the use of ISO 14050 terminology in environmental management
standards, in particular in sub-clauses M.5.2.5 and M.5.2.6:
M.5.2.5 Technical committee, subcommittee, project committee (SyC in IEC) or International
Workshop developing sector-, aspect- or element-specific environmental management standards
shall: …
— include the normative reference of the appropriate generic ISO 14050 terms and definitions; …
M.5.2.6 Any requests for guidance on this sector-, aspect- or element-specific policy or for
interpretation of generic ISO 14000 series standards or ISO 14050 terms and definitions or for
guidance on a sector-, aspect- or element-specific document shall be submitted to the ISO Central
Secretariat as well as the relevant TC 207 subcommittee.
This document has been developed in close cooperation with committees and working groups involved
in the development and revision of the ISO 14000 series of International Standards, Technical Reports
and Technical Specifications. A complete list of published documents in the ISO 14000 series is presented
in the Bibliography in this document.
