Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1998 | ISBN-10: 1882711181 | ISBN-13: 978-1882711185 | Edition: 1

This is a focused and well-organized book with in-depth interpretation of ISO 14001 requirements. It identifies and explains 61 distinct, auditable requirements that must be implemented to pass the certification audit. Every requirement is systematically explained with regard to interpretation, procedures and records, and examples of how auditors will verify conformance. In essence, the book reinterprets the standards into a list of specific actions that need to be taken to achieve conformance, and explains how to implement them in the organization. The list of all requirements discussed in the book is provided under the Table of Contents in the Book Information menu on the left side of this page.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This ISO 14000 series is the latest addition to our publications on management standards. In 1992 we published Jack Kanholm's ISO 9000 series and in 1995 his QS-9000 series. Both established themselves as the reference of choice for understanding, interpreting and implementing these standards - selling over 90,000 copies. The ISO 14000 series is very similar in its structure and approach, and we already have strong indications that it will do just as well. In this series, we also published a book about the legal aspects of implementing ISO 14000, by S. Wayne Rosenbaum.

From the Author

Encouraged by the success of my ISO 9000 and QS-900 books, I decided to write a similar series for the ISO 14000 standards. I wrote these books as much for myself and my colleagues as for the environmental managers that are on the receiving side of the audit. As a professional auditor I have to be perfectly clear and certain what the requirements of the standard are, and there is no better way to clear one's mind and consolidate the experience than writing a book. Being the first truly technical texts on this subject, the books are my input into the professional standard of practice for ISO 14000 interpretation and auditing. With my previous books I learned that people implementing management standards in their companies need authoritative and technical texts that will enable them to fully understand where the bottom line is for each and every requirement of the standard; and that they appreciate the directness, focus, clarity and simplicity of the writing. This is a proven, winning formula that I used again for the ISO 14000 books.
