How the Standard Works

This is important for understanding how the standard works. It is part of the ISO 14000 family of standards, which all deal with environmental management. ISO 14001 is the main standard in the family, while the others support it..
The standard is voluntary, and any organization can follow it and seek certification to it. Companies can use it in coordination with other management systems standards, such as ISO 9001. Doing so can improve the company's effectiveness in reaching its organizational goals. ISO 14001 uses the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) model of continuous improvement.
