Draft of joint ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 audit standard published

摘要

The draft of a new ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard for auditing both ISO 9000 (quality) and ISO 14000 (environmental) management systems is now publicly available.Benefiting from the considerable body of experience that has built up on the auditing of ISO management systems, the standard will replace six existing ones in the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families. It will help user organizations to optimize their management systems, facilitate the integration of quality and environmental management, and, in allowing single audits of both systems, will save money and decrease disruption of work units being audited.
