Summary
Building on BS EN ISO 14001 and the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), this British Standard provides guidance to all organizations on the phased implementation, maintenance and improvement of a formal Environmental Management System (EMS).
BS 8555 makes particular reference to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) but is applicable to any organization, regardless of the nature of the business activity undertaken, location or level of maturity.
It outlines an implementation process that can be undertaken in up to six separate phases and allows for phased acknowledgement of progress towards full EMS implementation.
It also includes advice on the integration and use of environmental performance evaluation techniques during the implementation process and the co-ordination of an EMS with other management systems.
BS 8555 will help all organizations improve their environmental performance and their supply chain relationships with the following guidance:
•Describes a six-phase incremental approach to implementing an EMS using environmental performance evaluation.
•Provides information to organizations on environmental performance management and the use of environmental performance indicators.
•Helps organizations satisfy the environmental criteria increasingly being set in contract tenders by new and existing major clients.
•Can be used by organizations who may wish to self-declare or seek voluntary phased recognition throughout the implementation process.
Beyond this, those using the standard can:
•choose to engage in environmental performance management to the level commensurate with the risks they face
•identify and maximize the areas

Overview
BS ISO 14050:2009 Environmental management. Vocabulary
Communication is essential in the implementation and operation of environmental management systems. This communication will be most effective if there is a common understanding of the terms used.
BS ISO 14050 contains concepts and their definitions as used in the ISO 14000 series of international standards related to environmental management.
BS ISO 14050 provides you with a compilation of the terms and definitions in use in the field of environmental management. It is also of use to standards developers, particularly those involved with translation, as an aid to maintaining consistency.
This standard is written in the three official ISO languages (English, French and Russian), but also gives the equivalent terms in Spanish, Arabic, German, Finnish, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese and Swedish.

Overview
Summary
BS ISO 14004:2004 provides guidelines on the elements of an EMS, its implementation and the principles involved.
It also gives advice on how to effectively initiate, improve or sustain an environmental management system.
An EMS is an essential element to an organization’s ability to anticipate and meet its environmental objectives and to ensure ongoing compliance with national and/or international requirements.
Having been revised, the improved BS ISO 14004 is now expected to bring the benefits of implementing an EMS to more businesses than ever. The standard is now easier to understand and use.
Abstract
This International Standard provides guidance on the establishment, implementation, maintenance and improvement of an environmental management system and its coordination with other management systems.
The guidelines in this International Standard are applicable to any organization, regardless of its size, type, location or level of maturity. The special needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are incorporated, and this International Standard accommodates their needs and promotes their use of an environmental management system.
While the guidelines in this International Standard are consistent with the ISO 14001 environmental management system model, they are not intended to provide interpretations of the requirements of ISO 14001.
The general purpose of this International Standard is to provide assistance to organizations that wish to implement or improve an environmental management system and thereby improve their environmental performance.
