ISO 14001:2004 specifies needs for an environmental management system to allow an organization to develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal needs and other needs to which the organization subscribes, and information about significant environmental aspects. It applies to those environmental aspects that the organization recognizes as those which it can control and those which it can influence. It does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria.
ISO 14001:2004 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement, maintain and progress an environmental management system, to assure itself of conformity with its stated environmental policy, and to demonstrate conformity with ISO 14001:2004 by
a) manufacture a self-determination and self-declaration, or
b) looking for confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as clients, or
c) looking for confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
d) looking for certification/registration of its environmental management system by an exterior organization.
All the needs in ISO 14001:2004 are intended to be incorporated into any environmental management system. The extent of the application will depend on factors such as the environmental policy of the organization, the nature of its behavior, products and services and the location where and the conditions in which it functions.
ISO 14001:2004 also give, in Annex a, educational guidance on its use.
