New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Integrating Iso 14001 Into A Quality Management System by Marilyn R. Block , I. Robert Marash
This book encourages critical thinking about the similarities between ISO 14001 and the ISO 9001/QS-9000 quality standards and shares approaches used by various organizations through examples of documentation that have withstood the scrutiny of registrars. Understanding the similarities and differences between ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 is essential to any effort to integrate both systems. This book teaches you-step by step-how to do just that.
Authors Marilyn R. Block and I. Robert Marash review ISO 14001 and the recent ISO 9001:2000 requirements. Using real-life examples, the authors delineate which requirements have a direct or partial overlap and which requirements are unique to each standard. Actual procedures and a manual from an ISO 9001 registered company illustrate how these requirements can be addressed in any organization. The advantages and disadvantages of obtaining registration for an integrated system are also discussed. As auditors themselves, the authors explain what to expect from the audit process.
Using this step-by-step approach, readers will be able to integrate environmental requirements into their current quality system without creating redundant procedures. Best of all, they will be able to reduce the cost of implementing an environmental management system by leveraging the quality management system and capitalizing on existing practices and personnel. This book provides a natural progression for companies that are planning to transition from ISO 9001:1994 and ISO 9002:1994 to ISO 9001:2000 and want to ensure a seamless fusion of quality and environmental issues.
