Who is developing the ISO 14000 standards?
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 207. The scope of TC 207 is standardization in the field of environmental management tools and systems. The standards apply to environmental management tools and systems; they are not product standards, nor do they specify performance or pollutant/effluent levels. Specifically excluded are: – Test methods for pollutants. – Setting limit values regarding pollutants or effluents. – Setting environmental performance levels. – Standardization of products. TC 207 cooperates closely with ISO TC 176 on Quality Management (developers of ISO 9000) in the field of environmental management systems and audits.
