ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organisations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong management focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organisation can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. Using ISO can provide assurances to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.
