Frequently asked questions
Is ISO 14001 only for heavy industry?
No. It applies to any organisation that wants a systematic way to manage environmental impacts and obligations.
Does implementation replace regulatory permits?
No. The management system helps the organisation identify and manage applicable obligations; permits and approvals remain separate requirements.
Can ISO 14001 be integrated with ISO 9001?
Yes. Their common management-system structure allows shared controls for documents, audits, corrective actions and management review.
