FAQ
Does ISO 14001 equal legal compliance?+–
It requires you to determine and evaluate compliance obligations. The certificate is not a permit.
Can we integrate with ISO 9001?+–
Yes. Annex SL makes integrated QMS/EMS/OH&S common.
Who audits ISO 14001?+–
An accredited certification body.
Is carbon reporting included?+–
Only if you define it in scope and objectives. ISO 14001 does not mandate a GHG inventory by itself.
