ISO 14001: Environmental Management system

ISO 14001:2015 is an international standard that outlines requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). The standard provides a framework for organisations to identify, manage and reduce the environmental impact of their activities, products or services.

The standard is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, which is a systematic approach to continuous improvement. Organisations are required to establish environmental policies and objectives, identify and assess environmental impacts, develop and implement an action plan to address these impacts, and evaluate the effectiveness of their EMS. ISO 14001:2015 is designed to be compatible with other management systems, such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety), to allow organizations to integrate their management systems and improve overall performance. To achieve certification to ISO 14001:2015, organizations must demonstrate that they have implemented an effective EMS and are in compliance with the standard’s requirements. Certification is awarded by independent third-party organizations, such as registrars or certification bodies, following a rigorous assessment process. In summary, ISO 14001:2015 is an international standard that provides a framework for organisations to manage and reduce their environmental impact, improve their performance and gain a competitive advantage by demonstrating their commitment to sustainability.

    ISO certification is a formal recognition that a company or organisation has met a set of international standards for quality, environmental, safety, or other management systems. These standards are developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

    ISO certification can help organisations improve their efficiency, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and gain a competitive advantage. It can also help organisations demonstrate their commitment to quality, environmental, safety, or other management systems.

    There are many different types of ISO certification, including ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management), ISO 27001 (Information Security Management), and ISO 50001 (Energy Management).

    The time it takes to get ISO certified can vary depending on the type of certification, the size of the organisation, and how well prepared the organisation is for the certification process. On average, it can take between 6 and 12 months to complete the certification process.

    This will depend on a few factors; procedures already in place or not, scope of the products or services offered by the company, size of the company, commitment of the senior management, availability of key personnel, qualifications of the consultant, strategic plan of the company and how many certifications are required.

    However, a good projection can be 3 to 6 months depending on the factors above. It can take longer too.

    There is no fixed cost to attaining this important milestone. The major factor would be size and complexity of work to be undertaken.  A guideline would be a few thousand US dollars for a small company to tens of thousands of US dollars for a large company.

    There are no prerequisites. Preferably a company should have been running for a reasonable period and be able to afford the cost.

    There is a lot of uptake of this global symbol of commitment to quality locally, from the government, parastatals, big corporations, NGOs and SMEs. This is because of the numerous benefits and opportunities that come with ISO certification.

    Get in touch with us through the contacts below or contact form. We will organise a brief meeting to understand your position and expound the benefits. We will then prepare a quote, sign a contract and get started on this important milestone for your company.

    The cost of ISO certification can vary depending on the type of certification, the size of the organisation, and the certification body that is used. On average, it can cost between $5,000 and $20,000 to get ISO certified.

    The certification process typically includes an initial assessment of the organisation’s management system, followed by a formal audit to verify compliance with the relevant ISO standard. The audit is conducted by an independent certification body, and the organisation must demonstrate that it has implemented and is maintaining the necessary policies and procedures.

    The certification is valid for 3 years after which the organisation has to go through surveillance audits and then finally a recertification audit.

    Any organisation can apply for ISO certification, but it must meet the requirements of the relevant ISO standard. Organisations that do not meet the requirements of the standard will not be certified.

    ISO certification demonstrates that an organisation is committed to quality, environmental, safety, or other management systems. This will help improve the organisation’s reputation and credibility with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

    If an organisation does not maintain its certification, it can lose its certification status. This means that the organisation will no longer be able to use the ISO certification mark or claim to be certified.
