Update to ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems – Getting Closer

ISO 14001, Environmental Management Systems, the world’s first management system to be focussed on the environment is currently being revised. As climate change and the impact of business on the environment is one of today’s major challenges to tackle, this revision will ensure relevance in the market place today and in the future.

14001, ISO

The 2015 revision of ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, moved a step closer recently with the announcement of the final draft. Following initial delays, the Final Draft International Standard (FDIS), is expected in July. What is known, is that following the draft release, the FDIS will be available to national bodies for a two month period of voting.

“The ISO 14001 committee met in London in the last week April to review nearly 1,400 comments following the publication of the DIS in 2014. The outcome of the meeting included the decision to move to the next stage which is to create a Final draft International Standard (FDIS) which is expected in July 2015 before publication of the standard in September 2015.

Mike Hennigan, Secretary said ‘This is an important milestone in the revision of the worlds most widely adopted environmental management standard. The committee has put in a huge amount of work and dedication in reaching this stage, it’s a credit to everyone involved’.”
