This service provides independent third-party certification of an organization’s Environmental Management System against the requirements of ISO 14001:2015. The certification process assesses whether the EMS is established, implemented, maintained, and effective in managing environmental aspects, compliance obligations, and environmental risks and opportunities.
Certification activities typically include application review, Stage 1 audit (system readiness and documentation review), Stage 2 audit (implementation and effectiveness assessment), certification decision, and ongoing surveillance audits throughout the certification cycle. Audit conclusions are based on objective evidence, documented findings, and defined certification rules.
Certification is granted and maintained subject to continued conformity with ISO 14001 requirements and successful completion of surveillance audits.
