ISO
Both "ISO 9000" and
"ISO 14000" are actually families of standards and guidelines relating to
management systems, and related supporting standards, such as auditing.
These standards that have earned the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families a
worldwide reputation, are known as "generic management system standards". For
ISO, “generic” means that the same standards can be applied:
· To any organization, large or
small, whatever its product or service
·
In any sector of activity,
whether it is a business enterprise, a public administration, or a
government department
ISO
9000 is primarily concerned with
"quality management". In the ISO 9000 context, the standardized definition
of quality refers to all those features of a product (or service), which are
required by the customer.
ISO
14000 is primarily concerned with
"environmental management". This means what the organization does to
minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities.
ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 require organizations that implement them to improve
their performance continually in, respectively, quality and environmental
management. Both concern the way an organization goes about its work, thus, they both concern processes
- not products.
