IS/ISO 14001 : 2015 : Environmental Management Systems - Requirements with Guidance for Use

Reaffirmed 2020

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 14001 : 2015 ‘Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Environmental Management Sectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division Council.

IS/ISO 14001 was originally published in 1997 under dual number standard by adopting first edition of ISO 14001. With the publication of second edition of ISO 14001 in 2004, the first revision of IS/ISO 14001 was taken up for updating the standard in line with ISO 14001 : 2004. This standard is being revised again for adoption of ISO 14001 : 2015 version.

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standard, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
