ISO14001 environmental management system certification refers to conformity assessment activities carried out by third-party certification bodies according to ISO14001 standards. ISO14001 is a standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and one of the ISO14000 family standards. The standard was first issued in 1996, and was revised by ISO in 2004. The latest version is ISO14001-2015.

ISO14001 certification is applicable to any organization, including enterprises, institutions and relevant government units. After passing the certification, it can prove that the organization has reached the international level in environmental management, can ensure that the control of various pollutants in various processes, products and activities of enterprises meets relevant requirements, and helps enterprises to establish a good social image. There are many certification bodies implementing ISO14001 in China, which are determined by CNCA, and consulting bodies are determined by various industrial and commercial bureaus.

procedure

The first stage is the stage of establishing and implementing ISO14001 environmental management system.

At this stage, the organization should establish and implement ISO14001 environmental management system, which conforms to the requirements of ISO14001 standard in form.

The establishment and implementation of ISO14001 environmental management system follows the principle of voluntariness, and the top management of the organization decides whether to establish and implement ISO14001 environmental management system. If the organization decides to establish a system, it should specifically complete the following work:

First of all, we should be prepared for people, money and things. The environmental management representative shall be appointed by the top management in writing. Top management should authorize the establishment of corresponding institutions, and give human and financial support to ensure the establishment and operation of the system.

Second, we should do a good job in the initial environmental review. This work is to evaluate the environmental management of the organization, sum up experience, find out the main environmental problems and analyze their risks, so as to determine the control methods and future improvement direction. Generally speaking, to do the initial environmental assessment, a working group should be set up first, which is composed of people engaged in environmental protection, production, technology, equipment and other aspects. The working group should complete the identification and evaluation of laws and regulations, environmental factors, and the evaluation of the gap between the existing environmental management system and ISO14001 standard, and form an initial environmental review report.

Third, we should complete the planning of environmental management system. The so-called environmental management system planning is to formulate environmental policies according to the results of initial environmental assessment and the economic and technical strength of the organization; Determine the framework of environmental management system; Determine the organization and responsibilities; Formulate objectives, indicators and environmental management plans; Determine which environmental activities need to develop operation control procedures.

Fourth, prepare system documents. ISO14001 environmental management system is a documented environmental management system, which requires the preparation of environmental management manuals, program documents and work instructions.

Fifth, the operating environment management system. The completion and formal promulgation of the environmental management system documents indicates that the environmental management system has been established and put into operation.

During the operation of the system, in order to examine whether the organization's environmental management activities have been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the environmental management system documents and whether the environmental management system has been correctly implemented and maintained, and to determine the continuous applicability, adequacy and effectiveness of the system, the organization shall organize internal audit and management review.

Another important task that runs through these tasks is the training of all staff. Establishing and implementing environmental management system emphasizes full participation. The establishment and implementation of any link of the environmental management system depends on the joint efforts of all staff, and no employee can be divorced from the system. In order to make them understand and support the establishment and operation of the system with practical actions, the organization must carry out adequate training, ranging from ISO14001 standards to environmental policies, to applicable laws and regulations, to personal responsibilities, to important environmental factors, to system documents, to work instructions, to operation records ...

If the organization needs personnel training and technical support in the process of establishing and implementing the system, it can seek help from the environmental management system consulting agency. According to China's regulations, the ISO14001 environmental management system consulting organization must be registered with the Science and Technology Department of the State Environmental Protection Administration.

The second stage, the authentication and evidence collection stage.

After internal audit and management review, if the organization confirms that its environmental management system basically meets the requirements of ISO14001 standard, has good applicability to the organization, and is fully and effectively running, it can apply for certification and sign a certification contract with a certification institution that has been recognized by the Accreditation Committee of Environmental Management System Certification Institutions in China, and enter the ISO14001 environmental management system certification audit stage.

Certification audit is a process in which a certification body is entrusted by an organization as a third party to verify the compliance of the organization's environmental management system with ISO14001 environmental management system standards and the effectiveness of its operation and maintenance, and to determine whether to issue certification certificates to the organization.

In order to accept the certification audit of the certification body, the organization should make full preparations to maintain the effective operation of the system. The certification body will send an audit team, and the audit team will conduct certification audit on the organization. Certification audit includes the first stage audit and the second stage on-site audit. After the organization completes the correction of the non-conformity issued by the second-stage on-site audit and is verified and closed by the audit team, the organization will decide whether to approve the organization's certification registration and issue the certification certificate after certification evaluation.

The certification certificate is valid for three years, and within three years, the organization must accept the supervision and audit of the organization many times; After three years, the organization should apply for re-registration and obtain a certificate, which is the same as the first certification and evidence collection.
