Are there any guidelines covering joint implementation of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001?
It is expected that the revisions of the two standards will be compatible in terminology and content. It is not expected that an ISO guideline will be prepared on this subject at the present time. If the need for such a document arises, ISO will consider the request as a new project. For the quality and environmental auditing guidance standards (ISO 10011 and ISO 14010/14011/14012) the two responsible ISO technical committees (TC 176 and TC 207) are preparing a single common auditing standard (ISO 19011), scheduled for publication in the third quarter of 2002.
The two standards are compatible. It is not expected that an ISO guideline will be prepared on this subject at the present time. If the need for such a document arises, ISO will consider the request as a new project. However, both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 include an annex to show the correspondence between the two standards.
