ISO 14001 looks set to
change by the end of 2004
Final publication of the ISO 14001:2004 EMS standard looks set to take place in December 2004.
The revision aims to clarify definitions and objectives in the text of the standard. Furthermore, in light of the ISO 9000 revisions, it was decided that both ISO 14001 and ISO 14004 needed to be made more compatible with ISO 9001:2000. To remain consistent with the revisions of ISO 14001, the ISO 14004 text was also clarified.
The preparation of the final draft international standard (FDIS) will take about three more months, and should be published at the beginning of September 2004. The FDIS vote should be completed by mid-November and, if there are no important changes, ISO 14001:2004 will be published before the end of December 2004.
