Organizations of all kinds are increasingly concerned with achieving and demonstrating sound environmental performance by controlling the impact of their activities, products, or services on the environment, taking into account their environmental policy and objectives. They do so in the context of increasingly stringent legislation, the development of economic policies and other measures to foster environmental protection, and a general growth of concern from interested parties about environmental matters including sustainable development.

ISO 14001:2004 is a new (late 1996) standard for Environmental Management Systems. It was based upon the ISO 9000 family of specifications, so if you are family with the terms and structure of ISO9001, you will readily grasp ISO14001. The key aspects of ISO14001 are that it is Voluntary,
Flexible and non prescriptive,
Can use existing environmental programs and systems,
Pushes continual improvement,
Encourages cost saving by integrating environmental requirements into the overall company systems (design, manufacturing, etc.) and
Can provide a substantial market advantage.
The Environmental Management System (EMS) document is the central document that describes the interaction of the core elements of the system, and provides a third-party auditor with the key information necessary to understand the environmental management systems in-place at the company. Consistent with the principles of ISO14001, the Environmental Policy and Environmental Aspects/impacts analysis, including legal & other requirements, shape the program by influencing the selection of specific measurable environmental goals, objectives, & targets. Specific programs and/or projects must then be developed to achieve these environmental goals, objectives, & targets (in ISO14001 terms, this would be referred to as "Implementation & Operation"). The checking & corrective action elements of the system help ensure continuous improvement by addressing root causes on non-conformances. The ongoing management review of the EMS and its elements helps to ensure continuing suitability, adequacy, & effectiveness of the program

An Information Security Management System (ISMS) provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information in order to protect it. It encompasses employees, processes and information systems.

The world renowned British Standard for Information Security Management Systems, BS 7799-2:2002, has been updated and was released on the 15 October 2005 as an international standard, ISO/IEC 27001:2005.

ISO 27001 defines comprehensive requirements for an ISMS that deals with all the technical and Human aspects in information security in all its operational processes. Companies can be independently audited to ISO 27001and achieve registration to show their customers, partners and regulatory bodies that their processes are secure in handling information. ISO 27001 refers to ISO 17799 for implementation guidance and includes an abstract of ISO 17799 as an appendix showing auditors the kinds of control to expect.

The goal of ISO 27001 is to provide a common base for developing organizational security standards and effective security management practice and to provide confidence in inter-organizational dealings.

The Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) specification 18001 and the accompanying guideline OHSAS 18002 have been developed in response to urgent customer demand for a recognizable occupational health and safety management system standard against which their management systems can be assessed and certified.

OHSAS 18001 is also compatible with the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system and ISO 14001:2004 environmental management system standards, in order to facilitate the integration of quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management systems by organization, if they wish to do so. For more information please click IMS

The specification takes a structured approach to OH&S management. The emphasis is placed on practices being pro-active and preventive by the identification of hazards and the evaluation and control of work related risks. OHSAS 18001 can be used by organization of all sizes regardless of the nature of their activities or location. Organizations can now achieve third party certification for their Occupational Health and Safety management system.

India is represented by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).
Organizations are recognizing that an effective Quality Management System leads to reduced costs and greater operating margins. A well designed and implemented 'Quality Management System' based on ISO 9001 has been shown to provide organizations with the following benefits
This starts with the Setting of the Quality Policy and Quality Goals and Objectives. It continues with Management Review looking at data from the QMS, and taking actions to make sure that Quality Goals are met & New Goals are set, and continual improvement is achieved.

With the QMS in place and working for you, the organization is focused towards the Quality Goals. Management is provided with data on a continual basis and able to see progress or lack of progress towards goals and take appropriate action. The organized, scheduled process of conducting Management Review ensures that this evaluation takes place. It provides the mechanism of reviewing goals and performance against goals on a scheduled basis, and for taking action based on the evaluation.
Simply put, if you want to have a quality attitude you must have a quality system. This is what ISO recognizes, and this is why ISO 9000 is important
