ISO 14001 Consultant | EMS

Certification to a standard is the outcome of a successful assessment by an independent third party, commonly known as Certification Body (CB).

Monitoring (check) of the implemented system is a vital element of ISO 14001 standard. Organizations perform internal audits (first-party audits) to check how their quality management system is working. An organization may decide to invite an independent certification body to verify (third party audits) that it is in conformity to the standard, but there is no requirement for this. Alternatively, it might invite its clients to audit (second party audit) the quality system for themselves.

So, certification to 14001 standards is not a mandatory requirement of the standard but can be a useful tool to demonstrate that you meet its criteria. Independent Third-Party Certification Bodies offer ISO 14001 Certification across the globe.

ISO 14001 consulting services do not include Certification. Consultivo facilitates the certification process on behalf of the customer but maintains independence from the process & decision making of certification by the Certification Bodies (CB).

14001: 2015 standard is based on the High-Level Structure (HLS), identical core text and terms and definitions with other recently revised ISO management system standards such as ISO 45001: 2018 and ISO 9001: 2015. This framework is designed to facilitate the integration of new management topics into an organisation’s established management systems.

Organisations save 20 – 40% of resources on average when they implement, certify and maintain two or more standards at the same time.
