Other requirements of ISO 14000
Other requirements of ISO 14000
Depending on its circumstances and needs, an organization may subscribe voluntarily to requirements, other than legal requirements, that apply to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services. Such other environmental requirements, if applicable, can include
a) Agreements with public authorities,
b) Agreements with customers,
c) Non-regulatory guidelines,
d) Voluntary principles or codes of practice,
e) Voluntary environmental labeling or product stewardship commitments,
f) Requirements of trade associations,
g) Agreements with community groups or non-governmental organizations,
h) Public commitments of the organization or its parent organization, and i) corporate/company requirements.
Some of these commitments or agreements may address a range of issues in addition to environmental matters. The environmental management system need only address such commitments or agreements to the extent that they relate to the organization’s environmental aspects.
An organization should identify and keep track of the other requirements to which it subscribes. To facilitate this, the organization can
— Identify other requirements in its environmental policy, and
— Maintain an up-to-date compilation of other requirements in a list, register, database or other form.
