Overview of ISO 14001:2015

ISO 14001:2015 Requirements

Next, the course takes a step-by-step look at the relevant clauses in the ISO 14001 standard in order to understand what they mean and what your company needs to do to comply with them.

Documented Information

Clear, well-written, and non-bureaucratic documentation is an important part of an EMS.

While documents are used for storing and sharing information, records are essentially hard copies of results (such as from an audit) or evidence of activities that have been performed. And while documents get revised from to time and are generally kept up-to-date, records are static and never revised.

Steps for Implementation & Certification

The final part explains how organizations can implement an ISO 14001 EMS, ensure it complies with the standard's requirements, and achieve certification.
