Companies that have a successful quality management system in place have found it beneficial to expand that system to accommodate the environmental ISO 14001 requirements. Integrating ISO 14001 Into A Quality Management System examines both quality and environmental management and explains how any organization can integrate these requirements into one cohesive system.

Authors Marilyn R. Block and I. Robert Marash review the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards and delineate which requirements have a direct or partial overlap and which requirements are unique. Actual procedures from an ISO 9002 registered company illustrate how these requirements can be addressed. The advantages and disadvantages of obtaining registration for an integrated system and what you can expect from the audit process are discussed as well.

Elements of QS-9000 and the upcoming ISO 9001 revision are also presented and compared to applicable ISO 14001 requirements. An actual quality manual created by an ISO 9002 registered company is presented in an appendix. A revision of the same quality manual which integrates ISO 14001 requirements is also included.

This preeminent guide's step-by-step sequence makes it easy for you to integrate environmental requirements into your current quality management system.

Thanks. This was the reference book that I was looking for to tie up some minor loose ends in the integrated management system that I currently work with.
