he first of the ISO 14000 family of standards for environmental management were published in September 1996, although some organizations
were being certified to draft versions prior to this date. ISO 14000 certificates
have therefore been included in The ISO Survey since 1995.
Strictly speaking, “ISO 14000 certificates” are really ISO 14001 certificates
since that standard is the only certification standard in the ISO 14000
family. However, for the sake of consistency with “ISO 9000 certificates”
(in reality, ISO 9001/2/3:1994, or ISO 9001:2000 certificates), the generic
term has been preferred.
In both cases, the use of the generic term may have the merit of serving
as a reminder that ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 are families of International
Standards whose scopes – and usefulness for the organizations which
implement them – cover far more than just the requirements for achieving
certification.
