The standard
What is ISO 14001 certification?
ISO 14001 is the internationally recognized environmental management system standard. It helps organizations identify and manage environmental aspects, address compliance obligations, set objectives and continually improve environmental performance.
Independent certification demonstrates that your environmental management system has been assessed against ISO 14001 requirements. It can support customer confidence, tender requirements and responsible operations without guaranteeing legal compliance.

Relevant to manufacturers, contractors, transport and logistics providers, professional services and organizations of many sizes.

Common questions
ISO 14001 Certification FAQs
How much does ISO 14001 certification cost?
Costs depend on the number of personnel, activities, industry complexity, locations and required audit time. Request a tailored quote for your organization.
How long does ISO 14001 certification take?
Timing depends on your readiness, auditor availability and the closure of any nonconformities. We can discuss an achievable schedule based on your circumstances.
Can a small business become ISO 14001 certified?
Yes. ISO 14001 can apply to organizations of different sizes and sectors.
Does ISO 14001 certification guarantee environmental legal compliance?
No. Certification assesses the environmental management system against ISO 14001 requirements; it does not independently guarantee that every applicable legal obligation is fulfilled.
Can an ISO 14001 audit be conducted remotely?
Remote auditing may be possible where appropriate and permitted by the applicable certification arrangements and risks.
Who issues the certificate?
ARS or SCK issues the certificate under the applicable arrangements following an independent certification decision.
