ISO 14000 changes the way many companies approach environmental management and puts compliance into business terms that can't be ignored. This handbook explains what ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is, what the standards are, and how you can devise plans for complying with them. Chapters cover the field and scope of application, a review of ISO 14004, a guide to environmental management principles and supporting techniques, environmental management system specification, the auditing standards, accreditation bodies and registrars, and legal issues.
