The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) is a

private, nongovernmental, international standards body which

promotes international harmonization and Development of

manufacturing, product, and communications standards. It has

16000 standards applying to three areas of sustainable

development: environmental, economic and social.

Implementing and Maintaining ISO 14000

The project planning includes scheduling, budgeting, assigning

personnel, responsibilities, and resource, and if requires retaining

specialized external assistance .

Next, an initial review of the organizationsexisting environmental

program is needed once the initial review is completed, a strategic

or implementation plan can be developed. Objective of the

organization need to be determined and specific target set, Once thetarget and objective are set the organization need to be

implemented.

Once the EMS is implemented, its progress need to be continually

measured and monitored. Routine measurement and monitoring

must be undertaken of the activities which have been identified as

having the potential for a significant impact on the environment. An

organizationsEMS is not a stagnant system but must continually

evolve to meet the organizationsever changing needs.

Similarities and Differences of ISO 14000 and ISO

9000

Structurally, the ISO 14000 and ISO 9000 standards have much in common. Both

require written plans, although ISO 14001 calls for environmental planning that

includes legal and other requirements, objective and targets, and environmental

management programs.

In the area of implementation and operation, the ISO 9001 standard includes

requirements for organization, training, quality systems procedures, and document

and data control. The biggest addition to the ISO 14001 standard is for emergency

preparedness and response. Both standards are similar in their requirements forchecking and corrective action, management review, and internal auditing.

Managements responsibilities are more extensive under ISO 14001.

The standard includes the drafting of an environmental policy, consideration

of environmental aspects in all management activities, setting environmental

objectives and targets, establishment of an external communication

procedure (described later), and development of a management review

process for environment-related matters.

If your business is already registered to ISO 9001, you probably have 75 to80 percent of the management structure in place to conform to the ISO

14001 standard. What remains to be accomplished is the planning and

implementation of environmental objectives and targets.

Local government in

Japanadopts ISO 14000

and ISO 9000


7/10

The rapid adoption of ISO 14000, and subsequently ISO

9000, by government entities eager to bring about fiscal andorganizational reforms in the wake of the bursting of the

bubble economy , and their willingness to help rapid

implementation of the ISO management systems in the

small to medium enterprise sector.


8/10

Barely a year after publication of ISO 14001 in 1997,

one Japanese local government had already achieved

the first public entity certification

By the end of 2001, some 300 Japanese local

governments had achieved ISO 14001 certification

ISO 9000 began to interest local governments mainly

as a means of responding to the fiscal crisis caused

by the bursting of the bubble economy

Conclusions

The increasing willingness of over 3 000 local

governments in Japan to install modern quality andenvironmental management systems in their own

organizations, and to provide financial help and

training skills to encourage the SME sector to do

likewise must be seen as very positive steps towards

higher customer satisfaction and economic recovery.
