HACCP

ISO14001:2004 is an environmental management standard.
It defines a set of environmental management requirements
for environmental management systems. The purpose of
this standard is to help all kinds of organizations to protect
the environment, to prevent pollution, and to improve their
overall environmental performance.

This new ISO14001 standard was officially published
on November 15, 2004. It cancels and replaces the old
ISO14001:1996 standard. ISO14001:1996 will expire on
May 15, 2006. Therefore, you have until May 15, 2006 to
make the transition to the new ISO14001:2004 standard.

Since it was first published in 1996, ISO14001 has rapidly
become the most important environmental standard in the
world. Thousands of organizations use it, environmentalists
support it, and governments actively encourage its use.
ISO14001 applies to all types of organizations. It doesn’t
matter what size they are or what they do.
