Our ISO 14000 Solution

A fast, affordable turnkey approach to ISO 14000 registration

Guaranteed Registration

The ISO 14000 Solution provides all the documentation, guidance, and training required for ISO 14001 registration.  And it is custom tailored to meet your unique needs.  This comprehensive, yet flexible implementation program is designed for organizations in the early stages of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) process.

CMC’s pragmatic approach to compliance and registration will speed you through the ISO 14001 journey - from start to finish - and in most cases have you ready for registration in six-to-nine months.  Mile markers include:

► Conduct EMS Management Orientation (briefing)

Deliverable:  Management understanding of the ISO 14001 Standards, EMS, procedures and the registration process, and their commitment to environmental stewardship.

► Perform Baseline Evaluation (gap analysis; includes documentation review and remediation of critical non-conformances)

Deliverable:  Baseline Evaluation Report that identifies non-conformances and opportunities for improvement; it compares the organization’s current EMS activities to ISO 14001 requirements.

► Facilitate Management Planning (assess resources and develop program objectives)

Deliverable:  Action Plan and Timeline, and selection of a management representative who has responsibility for EMS ongoing implementation (a part-time value-added responsibility).

► Develop Responsibility Matrix (fixes accountability)

Deliverable:  Responsibility Matrix that defines each applicable ISO 14001 element and specifies responsibility (links the EMS element with the process owner and delineates accountability).

► Develop Macro-Flowchart (process mapping at organization level)

Deliverable:  Macro-flowchart of company operations; this enables a thorough understanding of the sequence of events of all key business processes.

► Prepare Policy Documents (develop quality management system manual)

Deliverable:  Draft EMS Manual that that defines the approach and responsibility; it describes EMS policy, procedures, requirements, and objectives.

► Identify, Flowchart and Prepare System-Level Procedures (SLPs)

Deliverable:  Flowcharts of required SLP’s and completed procedures; SLP’s define the “who, what and when,” (environmental activities typically at the department level).

► Coordinate Registrar Selection (third-party firm that audits the EMS)

Deliverable:  Selected registrar with the required accreditations to meet your organization’s unique requirements (initial Stage 1 and 2 registration audits, followed by annual surveillance audits).

► Review and Recommend Changes to Work Instructions and Forms

Deliverable:  Modified (streamlined) work instructions that describe how complex jobs are accomplished; you will probably find that you already have instructions for many of your critical operations.

► Conduct ISO 14001 Awareness Training (for staff beginning with senior management)

Deliverable:  Trained staff with clear understanding of ISO 14001 requirements, and their personal roles in the process; training also includes how to pass the registration audit.

► Implement Environmental Management System (to ensure practice is consistent with procedure)

Deliverable:  A fully functioning, scalable, and practical EMS (includes procedures implementation to ensure conformity to the Standard; e.g. document control, emergency response, external communications, etc.)

► Support the Preparation of Audit Procedures, Train Staff and Conduct Audits

Deliverable:  Documented and validated internal audit system (required to monitor the EMS implementation for conformity to the Standard; includes hands-on EMS internal  auditor training).

► Perform a Pre-Assessment Evaluation

Deliverable:  Audit report detailing observations and required corrective actions; CMC will also provide detailed remediation guidance addressing all non-conformances.

► Facilitate a Management Review Meeting

Deliverable:  Management Review Meeting minutes that includes corrective action implementation plan to eliminate nonconformities, current performance, and continual improvement opportunities.

► Provide Support During the Stage 1 and 2 Registration Audits (EMS, facilities and documentation)

Deliverable:  Continued assistance throughout the registration audit to ensure a smooth process, resulting in registration (CMC guarantees registration).
