Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use (ISO 14001:2004)

ISO 14001:2004 specifies requirements for an environmental management system to enable an organization to develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, and information about significant environmental aspects. It applies to those environmental aspects that the organization identifies as those which it can control and those which it can influence. It does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria.
ISO 14001:2004 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system, to assure itself of conformity with its stated environmental policy, and to demonstrate conformity with ISO 14001:2004 by
a) making a self-determination and self-declaration, or
b) seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as customers, or
c) seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
d) seeking certification/registration of its environmental management system by an external organization.
All the requirements in ISO 14001:2004 are intended to be incorporated into any environmental management system. The extent of the application will depend on factors such as the environmental policy of the organization, the nature of its activities, products and services and the location where and the conditions in which it functions.
ISO 14001:2004 also provides, in Annex A, informative guidance on its use.

Umweltmanagementsysteme - Anforderungen mit Anleitung zur Anwendung (ISO 14001:2004)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen an ein Umweltmanagementsystem fest, die es einer Organisation ermöglichen, eine Umweltpolitik und entsprechende Zielsetzungen unter Berücksichtigung von der rechtlichen Verpflichtungen und anderen Anforderungen zu entwickeln und zu verwirklichen, zu denen sich die Organisation verpflichtet hat ist, sowie der Informationen über bedeutende wesentliche Umweltaspekte zu entwickeln und zu verwirklichen. Sie gilt für jene Umweltaspekte, welche die Organisation als solche identifiziert, die sie kontrollieren beziehungsweise beeinflussen kann. Sie legt jedoch keine spezifischen Kriterien für Umweltleistungen fest.
Diese Internationale Norm ist auf jede Organisation anwendbar, die beabsichtigt:
a)   ein Umweltmanagementsystem einzuführen, zu verwirklichen, aufrechtzuerhalten und zu verbessern;
b)   sich der Konformität mit der festgelegten Umweltpolitik zu vergewissern;
c)   die Konformität mit dieser Internationalen Norm nachzuweisen durch
1)   eigene Ermittlungen und Abgabe einer Selbsterklärung; oder
2)   Bestätigung ihrer Konformität durch Dritte, die ein Interesse an der Organisation haben, wie z. B. Kunden; oder
3)   Bestätigung der Selbsterklärung durch einen Externen; oder
4)   Zertifizierung/Registrierung ihres Umweltmanagementsystems durch eine externe Organisation.
Alle Anforderungen in dieser Internationalen Norm sollten in jedem Umweltmanagementsystem Berücksichtigung finden. Der Umfang ihrer Anwendung hängt von Faktoren ab, wie z. B. der Umweltpolitik der Organisation, der Art ihrer Tätigkeiten, Produkte und Dienstleistungen und dem Ort, an dem und den Bedingungen, unter denen sie tätig ist. Diese Internationale Norm enthält in Anhang A eine informative Anleitung für ihre Anwendung.

Systemes de management environnemental - Exigences et lignes directrices pour son utilisation (ISO 14001:2004)

L'ISO 14001:2004 spécifie les exigences relatives à un système de management environnemental permettant à un organisme de développer et de mettre en oeuvre une politique et des objectifs, qui prennent en compte les exigences légales et les autres exigences auxquelles l'organisme a souscrit et les informations relatives aux aspects environnementaux significatifs. Elle s'applique aux aspects environnementaux que l'organisme a identifiés comme étant ceux qu'il a les moyens de maîtriser et ceux sur lesquels il a les moyens d'avoir une influence. Elle n'instaure pas en elle-même de critères spécifiques de performance environnementale.
L'ISO 14001:2004 est applicable à tout organisme qui souhaite établir, mettre en oeuvre, tenir à jour et améliorer un système de management environnemental; s'assurer de sa conformité avec sa politique environnementale établie; et démontrer sa conformité à l'ISO 14001:2004 en

b) recherchant la confirmation de sa conformité par des parties ayant un intérêt pour l'organisme, telles que les clients, ou
c) recherchant la confirmation de son autodéclaration par une partie externe à l'organisme, ou
d) recherchant la certification/enregistrement de son système de management environnemental par un organisme externe.
Toutes les exigences de l'ISO 14001:2004 sont destinées à être intégrées dans n'importe quel système de management environnemental. Le degré d'application dépendra de divers facteurs, tels que la politique environnementale de l'organisme, la nature de ses activités, produits et services, et sa localisation et les conditions dans lesquelles il fonctionne.
L'ISO 14001:2004 fournit également, dans l'Annexe A, des lignes directrices informatives pour son utilisation.

Sistemi ravnanja z okoljem – Zahteve z navodili za uporabo (ISO 14001:2004)

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve za sistem ravnanja z okoljem, ki omogoča organizaciji razviti in izvajati politiko in cilje, ki upoštevajo zakonske zahteve in druge zahteve, na katere je organizacija pristala, ter informacije o pomembnih okoljskih vidikih. Nanaša se na tiste prepoznane okoljske vidike, ki jih organizacija lahko obvladuje in na katere lahko vpliva. Sam po sebi pa ta standard ne postavlja meril za učinek ravnanja z okoljem. Ta mednarodni standard lahko uporabi vsaka organizacija, ki želi:
a) vzpostaviti, izvajati, vzdrževati in izboljševati sistem ravnanja z okoljem;
b) dokazati sama sebi, da izpolnjuje okoljsko politiko, za katero se je opredelila;
c) prikazati izpolnjevanje zahtev tega mednarodnega standarda, tako da:
1) sprejme lastno odločitev in izda lastno izjavo ali
2) pridobi pri strankah, ki se zanimajo za organizacijo, kot na primer odjemalec, potrditev, da izpolnjuje zahteve, ali
3) pridobi pri zunanji stranki potrditev, da izpolnjuje lastno izjavo, ali
4) pridobi pri zunanji stranki certifikacijo/ registracijo za svoj sistem ravnanja z okoljem.
Vse zahteve tega mednarodnega standarda je mogoče vključiti v katerikoli sistem ravnanja z okoljem. Obseg uporabe je odvisen od takih dejavnikov, kot so okoljska politika organizacije, narava njenih dejavnosti, proizvodov in storitev, lokacija, na kateri deluje, in razmere, v katerih deluje. V dodatku A tega mednarodnega standarda so tudi informativna navodila za njegovo uporabo.

ISO 14001:2004(E)
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 14001 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 14001:1996), which has been technically

ISO 14001:2004(E)
Introduction
Organizations of all kinds are increasingly concerned with achieving and demonstrating sound environmental
performance by controlling the impacts of their activities, products and services on the environment, consistent
with their environmental policy and objectives. They do so in the context of increasingly stringent legislation, the
development of economic policies and other measures that foster environmental protection, and increased
concern expressed by interested parties about environmental matters and sustainable development.
Many organizations have undertaken environmental “reviews” or “audits” to assess their environmental
performance. On their own, however, these “reviews” and “audits” may not be sufficient to provide an
organization with the assurance that its performance not only meets, but will continue to meet, its legal and
policy requirements. To be effective, they need to be conducted within a structured management system that is
integrated within the organization.
International Standards covering environmental management are intended to provide organizations with the
elements of an effective environmental management system (EMS) that can be integrated with other
management requirements and help organizations achieve environmental and economic goals. These
standards, like other International Standards, are not intended to be used to create non-tariff trade barriers or to
increase or change an organization's legal obligations.
This International Standard specifies requirements for an environmental management system to enable an
organization to develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and
information about significant environmental aspects. It is intended to apply to all types and sizes of organization
and to accommodate diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions. The basis of the approach is shown
in Figure1. The success of the system depends on commitment from all levels and functions of the
organization, and especially from top management. A system of this kind enables an organization to develop an
environmental policy, establish objectives and processes to achieve the policy commitments, take action as
needed to improve its performance and demonstrate the conformity of the system to the requirements of this
International Standard. The overall aim of this International Standard is to support environmental protection and
prevention of pollution in balance with socio-economic needs. It should be noted that many of the requirements
can be addressed concurrently or revisited at any time.
The second edition of this International Standard is focused on clarification of the first edition, and has taken
due consideration of the provisions of ISO 9001 to enhance the compatibility of the two standards for the benefit
of the user community.
For ease of use, the subclause numbers in Clause 4 of the body of this International Standard and in Annex A
have been related. For example, 4.3.3 and A.3.3 both deal with objectives, targets and programme(s), and 4.5.5
and A.5.5 both deal with internal audit. In addition, Annex B identifies broad technical correspondences
between ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2000 and vice versa.
There is an important distinction between this International Standard, which describes the requirements for an
organization's environmental management system and can be used for certification/registration and/or self-
declaration of an organization's environmental management system, and a non-certifiable guideline intended to
provide generic assistance to an organization for establishing, implementing or improving an environmental
management system. Environmental management encompasses a full range of issues, including those with
strategic and competitive implications. Demonstration of successful implementation of this International
Standard can be used by an organization to assure interested parties that an appropriate environmental
management system is in place.
Guidance on supporting environmental management techniques is contained in other International Standards,
particularly those on environmental management in the documents established by ISO/TC 207. Any reference
to other International Standards is for information only.

ISO 14001:2004(E)
NOTE This International Standard is based on the methodology known as Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA). PDCA can be
briefly described as follows.
— Plan: establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the organization's
environmental policy.
— Do: implement the processes.
— Check: monitor and measure processes against environmental policy, objectives, targets, legal and other
requirements, and report the results.
— Act: take actions to continually improve performance of the environmental management system.
Many organizations manage their operations via the application of a system of processes and their interactions, which can
be referred to as the “process approach”. ISO 9001 promotes the use of the process approach. Since PDCA can be
applied to all processes, the two methodologies are considered to be compatible.
Figure 1 — Environmental management system model for this International Standard
This International Standard contains only those requirements that can be objectively audited. Those
organizations requiring more general guidance on a broad range of environmental management system issues
are referred to ISO 14004.
This International Standard does not establish absolute requirements for environmental performance beyond
the commitments, in the environmental policy, to comply with applicable legal requirements and with other
requirements to which the organization subscribes, to prevention of pollution and to continual improvement.
Thus, two organizations carrying out similar operations but having different environmental performance can
both conform to its requirements.
The adoption and implementation of a range of environmental management techniques in a systematic manner
can contribute to optimal outcomes for all interested parties. However, adoption of this International Standard
will not in itself guarantee optimal environmental outcomes. In order to achieve environmental objectives, the
environmental management system can encourage organizations to consider implementation of the best

ISO 14001:2004(E)
available techniques, where appropriate and where economically viable, and fully take into account the cost-
effectiveness of such techniques.
This International Standard does not include requirements specific to other management systems, such as
those for quality, occupational health and safety, financial or risk management, though its elements can be
aligned or integrated with those of other management systems. It is possible for an organization to adapt its
existing management system(s) in order to establish an environmental management system that conforms to
the requirements of this International Standard. It is pointed out, however, that the application of various
elements of the management system might differ depending on the intended purpose and the interested parties
involved.
The level of detail and complexity of the environmental management system, the extent of documentation and
the resources devoted to it depend on a number of factors, such as the scope of the system, the size of an
organization and the nature of its activities, products and services. This may be the case in particular for small
and medium-sized enterprises.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 14001:2004(E)
Environmental management systems — Requirements with
guidance for use
1Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for an environmental management system to enable an
organization to develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and
other requirements to which the organization subscribes, and information about significant environmental
aspects. It applies to those environmental aspects that the organization identifies as those which it can control
and those which it can influence. It does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria.
This International Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to
a) establish, implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system,
b) assure itself of conformity with its stated environmental policy,
c) demonstrate conformity with this International Standard by
1) making a self-determination and self-declaration, or
2) seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as
customers, or
3) seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
4) seeking certification/registration of its environmental management system by an external organization.
All the requirements in this International Standard are intended to be incorporated into any environmental
management system. The extent of the application depends on factors such as the environmental policy of the
organization, the nature of its activities, products and services and the location where and the conditions in
which it functions. This International Standard also provides, in Annex A, informative guidance on its use.
