The standards are set by CIAPS in close consultation with industry. The overarching policy of CIAPS regarding the setting of standards has been to use, whenever possible, the accepted standard existing within the industry e.g. for Health & Safety to use CHAS/ISO 18001 and for customer quality and environmental management to use ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 respectively. This has the added benefit that CIAPS compliance acts as a business improvement tool, helping consolidate best practice principles and achieving greater productivity and profitability.
