The Role of Standards
The objective of any standard, whether it relates to the manufacture of cars, airplanes, machinery, or the delivery of a service - transportation, hospitals, etc. - is the same.

Standards are designed to promote, facilitate and enable consistency in a process or product; to provide assurance that the process or product output will meet requirements, to provide a uniform and predictable output every time a set of procedures are executed. It is important to understand that standards, in and of themselves, do not necessarily produce a “quality” process or product.

The ISO 14001 standard was published by ISO in September 1996, and subsequently revised in 2004. It was developed to allow organizations to formulate a policy, objectives and targets and implement programs within a structured management systems framework. Simultaneously, legislative requirements, important public issues and plant-specific environmental concerns shall be considered and included where applicable within the framework of the environmental management system.

The ISO 14000 Series of Standards
ISO 14000 is a series of international environmental management system standards. They can be divided into process related standards and product oriented standards.
