The International Organisation of Normalisation (ISO) has published all over the world the new version of the norm of environingingmental certification ISO 14001:2004, that substitutes to the norm ISO 14001:1996.
The Asociación Española de Normalización y Certificación (aenor) in Spain also published the Spanish version. Both standards promote the implementation of an effective management system environmental (EMS) that allows the control of the activities, products or services that may have a negative impact on the environment; compliance with environmental legal requirements and others who subscribe to the Organization and the continuous improvement of environmental performance.
These standards take into account the provisions of the standard ISO 9001: 2000 in order to promote the integration of the environmental management system with the system of quality management.
Certified companies must adapt their environmental management systems to the new version by June 2006. At the end of 2003, there were more than 66,000 certificates in 113 countries.
