What is ISO 14001 Certification?

ISO 14001 is part of a series of international standards applicable to any organisation.

ISO 14001 specifies the most important requirements to identify, control and monitor the environmental aspects and impacts of the operations of an organisation and how to manage and improve the system as a whole.

Our Approach

Key Steps In Our Certification Process Are:

- Certification audit performed in 2 stages:
Stage 1 – readiness review performed to verify that the organisation is ready for certification
Stage 2 – evaluation of implementation, including the effectiveness of the management system of the organisation
- A certificate valid for 3 years is issued upon satisfactory results of stage 2 audit;
- Surveillance audits to verify that the management system continues to fulfill the requirements of the standard and monitor for continual improvement;
- Re-certification after 3 years to confirm the continued conformance and effectiveness of the management system as a whole.
