The ISO 14000 handbook (Rev. ed)

The best-selling source to ISO 14000 conformance, The ISO 14000 Handbook contains the actual full-text versions of the adopted ANSI/ISO 14001-1996 and 14004-1996 standards. The handbook has been edited by the leader of the US delegation on ISO 14000 with contributions from many of those who assisted in developing the standards.

Divided into 10 topical parts and several reference appendixes, The ISO 14000 Handbook's easy-to-use formatting makes it an ideal reference for both the beginner and the seasoned environmental manager. Frequent annotations draw attention to key concepts and tips that guide you through the text towards your preparation for ISO 14001 implementation. Additional sidebars, tip boxes, and graphics provide you with anecdotal examples and experiences of others aimed at showing (rather than telling) you how to meet the challenges of the ISO 140001 implementation process.

Included checklists and case studies help document and identify environmental aspects pertaining to any industry. Chapters explaining liability issues, methods to integrate ISO 14000 with ISO 9000, details on external and internal audits, and a glossary offering commonly used ISO 14000 terms make this the definitive reference for anyone interested in the benefits of this standard.
