What if we want to implement ISO 14001 after ISO 9001?

If an organization already has ISO 9001, there are many common requirements
which do not need to be repeated. (Please see FREE tutorial for more info)

ISO 9001	Clause of the Standard:	ISO 14001
4.2.3	Document Control	4.4.5
4.2.4	Records	4.5.4
5.5.1	Responsibility and Authority	4.4.1
5.6	Management Review	4.6
6.2.2	Training, Competency, Awareness	4.4.2
8.2.2	Internal Audit	4.5.5
8.5.2	Corrective and Preventive Actions	4.5.3
6.3-6.4	Infrastructure, Work Environment	4.4.6

It is often more efficient to combine these two manuals (EMS & QMS) into one - sharing the common clauses and procedures. We have considered this when creating a package to simplify the implementation for an organization who is already familiar with an ISO 9001 based standard. Rather than have parallel (duplicate) Manuals, we note where the user can just add EMS requirements to the existing QMS Manual..

The 14000 Store provides products for organizations in all stages of QMS and/or EMS development, including:

A complete ISO 14001 EMS - Stands alone
A specially configured ISO 14001 EMS for those with an existing ISO 9001 based QMS
A complete EMS-QMS solution for those who want to implement both at the same time.

ISO-9001-and-14001

ISO has published a combined book and CD giving organizations advice on how to make integrated use of management system standards. Learn More...
