What is ISO?
• ISO - International Organization for Standardization
• Non - Governmental organization
• Began its official functions on 23th of February, 1947
• Today there are 163 members (countries) and 3.368 technical
bodies to take care of standard development
• A standard is a document that provides requirements,
specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used
consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes and
services are fit for their purpose.
Mission
Promotion of the development of standardization and
related activities in the world with a view to:
• Facilitate the international exchange of goods and services
• Develop cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific,
technological and economic activity
• In each sector that ISO addresses, business, government,
consumers and other stakeholders recognize and rely on ISO
as the leading platform for the development and dissemination
of globally relevant solutions.
EMS Essential
• EMS when integrated with other management systems
(i.e. QMS), can help achieve environmental and economic
goals
• Enables the organization to develop and implement a
policy and objectives which take into account legal
requirements
and
information
about
significant
environmental aspects.
• Provides the framework for continual improvement on
environmental objectives and targets.
What interesting for me?
• Improved company credibility
• Competitive advantage in the market place
• Reduced trade barrier
• Satisfy stakeholders interest
What interesting for me?
• Reduced raw material usage
• Reduced energy consumption

ISO 14000
Specifies requirements for an environmental management
system to enable an organization to develop and implement a
policy and objectives, and information about significant
environmental aspects.
Prior to the development of the ISO 14000 series, organizations
voluntarily constructed their own EMS systems, but this made
comparisons of environmental effects between companies difficult and
therefore the universal ISO 14000 series was developed.
An EMS is defined by ISO as: part of the overall management system,
that includes organizational structure, planning activities, responsibilities,
practices, procedures, processes and resources for developing,
implementing, achieving and maintaining the environmental policy.
ISO 14004
Provides organizations requiring more general guidance on
a broad range of EMS issues.
ISO 19011
Provides guidelines on auditing quality and environmental
management systems.
The purpose of ISO 14000 standards
• Reduced pollution and negative effects
• Improved utilization of resources
• Does not replace legislative and regulatory requirements
• Does not specify environmental performance criteria
• Encourage of implementation of new eco
technologies and management of the products
• Good reputation for the business and etc.

whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting
from an organization’s activities, products or services.

Past performance review
Referred to as Initial review or Preparatory Environmental
Review (PER)
What should be considered in
identifying the environmental aspects?
• Emissions to Air
• Releases to Water
• Releases to Land
• Use of raw materials and natural resources
• Use of Energy
• Energy emitted, e.g. heat, radiation, vibration
• Waste and by-products
Initial Environmental Review
What exactly is an Initial Environmental Review?
• It provides a snapshot of a company’s performance at a
particular point in time.
• It highlights a company’s environmental impacts allowing
action to be taken where it is most required.
• The purpose is to find and evaluate as many areas as
possible in which the company can improve its
environmental performance.
Approach and methods:
Process maps - outlines the process requirements (i.e.
resources) and the outputs including wastes, emissions and
by-products that serve as a baseline for identifying
environmental aspects.
Inputs: raw materials;
energy, resources
PROCESS
Outputs: emissions; byproducts; wastes
Assessment of Significant Aspects
Criteria for Assessment of Significance
• Legislative / regulatory obligation
• Risk to the Environment
• Occurrence of incidents
• Actual and potential nuisance/harm

Definition
• Severity
Is an assessment of the seriousness of the effect (environmental
impact) to the cause (environmental aspect) to the environment.
• Occurrence
How frequently the specific environmental aspect is projected to
occur (the occurrence number has a meaning rather than a value)
• Detection
Is an assessment of the probability that the existing operational
control(s) or monitoring and measurement(s) will detect
environmental aspect performance weakness, deterioration or
degradation.

Difference between ISO 14001 and EMAS
ISO 14001 and EMAS, are based on the same conditions.
The implementation of an environmental management
based on ISO 14001, can be seen as a step to EMAS
registration.
The main difference between EMAS and ISO 14001 is
limited to a duty to the company to publish a statement on
environmental issues that are identified.
Difference between ISO 14001 and EMAS
The EMAS requirements include those of ISO 14001, but with
Regulation (EC) № 1221/2009, introducing some new elements that
further enhance the credibility of the scheme. This is actually the
reference scheme for environmental management through which the
organization besides introducing an effective system of environmental
management:
Provide public access to its environmental statement certified by
independent accredited expert - environmental verifier;
EMAS, continuously improving the environmental performance;
All employees are committed to active participation.
Continuous compliance with the legislation on the environment is
ensured by additional government oversight.
