'A quick and easy guide to achieving the requirements of ISO 14001. ...Written primarily for small and medium scale companies that want to create their own environmental management system, this book strives to be as simple as possible whilst still being comprehensive.' Chemical Industry Digest, August 2001

A do-it-yourself handbook, with steps to success and simple explanatory notes, designed for real organizations. ISO 14001 Environmental Certification Step by Step has been written with smaller companies especially in mind.

Dr A. J. Edwards explains how to achieve the ISO 14001 standard aided by a complementary website which contains a sample manual and detailed sample registers and procedures. These will provide a quick and straightforward guide to achieving the requirements of ISO 14001 Environmental Certification.

Many organizations working towards ISO 14001 already possess ISO 9000 registration or choose to achieve ISO 14001 and ISO 9000 simultaneously as an integrated system. Therefore, to prevent duplication, ISO 14001 Environmental Certification Step by Step includes cross-referencing of ISO 14001 requirements to the relevant procedures in the Quality System.
