*********************************
ISO 14001 is the star standard among the international Organization for
Standardization's ISO 14000 series of environmental management
standards. It has seen spectacular growth since its launch in September
1996. Worldwide registrations are set to pass the 20,000 mark in 2000
with 20 times that number reportedly waiting in the wings.
In 30 explicit but concise chapters, "ISO 14001: Case Studies and
Practical Experiences" seeks to unravel the truth behind what can and
cannot be achieved by ISO 14001 and aims to provide readers with enough
knowledge to make choices about its relevance and importance not only to
their worlds but also to society. Written by leading practitioners,
certifiers, consultants, government and academics, the book examines
both the real benefits and the shortcomings organisations have
experienced with ISO 14001. We learn from both.
Far more ambitious than an implementation guide, the book will provide
those readers struggling with the standard first-hand experiences of the
real issues they will face in implementing their EMS and, just as
importantly, what certifiers look for when they visit firms. ISO 14001:
Case Studies and Practical Experiences is a warts-and-all exposé of ISO
14001: the issues tackled; the problems faced and overcome; and, above
all, the astonishing flexibility of its uses and the diversity of its users
