What Is Environmental Management System Certification?
An Environmental Management System, commonly referred to as an EMS, provides an organised framework for managing an organisation's environmental responsibilities.
ISO 14001 certification involves an independent assessment of the organisation's environmental management system against the applicable requirements of the standard.
The certification assessment considers how the organisation manages:
- Relevant environmental aspects
- Compliance obligations
- Environmental objectives
- Operational controls
- Monitoring and measurement
- Continual improvement
ISO 14001 does not simply mean that a company is “environmentally friendly”. Certification provides evidence that an organisation's environmental management system has been independently assessed against the applicable requirements.
Choosing an ISO 14001 Certification Body
Before selecting a certification provider, consider more than the quoted certification fee. Check whether the certification body:
Has appropriate accreditation
Confirm that the certification body's accreditation covers the required management-system certification and applicable scope.
Can certify your industry and locations
The certification scope should suit your organisation's activities, and for multi-site organisations the programme should reflect your actual operations.
Maintains independence
Certification is an independent conformity-assessment activity and should be separated from consultancy that could compromise impartiality.
Meets your customer's requirements
If certification is required for a tender, customer, contractor or authority, verify the specific conditions before selecting a certification body.
EIAC's accreditation framework specifically includes ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification and the relevant competence requirements for certification bodies.
