ISO 14001 Hits 10-Year Mark

摘要

It has been 10 years since the ISO 14001 standard on environmental management systems (EMSs) was first published.rnISO 14001 took many years to develop, but since being issued, it has been widely used in both the public and private sectors, exceeding the adoption rate of ISO 9001. State and national programs have been established to assist, recognize and encourage EMS program implementation. The number of ISO 14001 certified organizations is now more than 21,000, with almost 9,000 certificates issued in North America alone.
