Need for Alignment of
management system standards!
ISO Joint Technical Coordination Group
(“JTCG”):
Joint vision for management system standards
High level structure for all ISO management systems
standards
Identical sub-clause titles under the high level
structure
Generic core vocabulary for management system
standards
Aim is to make life easier for those who wish to
have a “single management system” (C) Nigel H Croft 2015 - All rights reserved 4 May 2015
ISO Directives Part 1:2012 “Annex SL”
Incorporates the recommendations of the JTCG
work
Defines the common structure and format for all
new ISO management system standards and
revisions to existing standards
Common text (approx 30% or more of each
standard will be identical text)
Significant impact on revisions of ISO 9001 and
ISO 14001

ISO 14001:2015
Aim is to update ISO 14001 to address the latest
environmental challenges over the next two
decades.
Increasingly rigorous legislation
Growing pressure on environment from pollution;
inefficient use of resources; degradation of eco-
systems and loss of bio-diversity.
Increasing expectations from society for transparent,
responsible sustainable development.
Value-chain and life-cycle concepts
Oct 2013
PDCA Framework of ISO 14001
Some key changes
Use of “Annex SL” leads to structure and
format changes + some new requirements
Context of the organization
Interested parties
“Risks & Opportunities”
Reinforced requirements for leadership
Need to integrate EMS into business operations
“Documented information”
Nov 2014 (c) TCA Global 2014 8
Some new requirements
Now need to address “processes and their interactions”
“Compliance obligations”
Policy to include “other specific commitment(s) relevant
to the context of the organization”, e.g:
sustainable resource use
climate change mitigation and adaptation
protection of biodiversity and ecosystems
Life-cycle perspective to be included in:
Determination of environmental aspects
Product/service design and development
Procurement
Nov 2014 (c) TCA Global 2014 9
“Compliance obligation”
legal requirements that an organization has to
comply with and other requirements that an
organization has to or chooses to comply with.
may arise from
applicable laws and regulations
voluntary commitments, such as organizational and
industry standards,
contractual relationships,
principles of good governance
community and ethical standards.

or generation from natural resources to end-
of-life treatment
