Introduction (continue3)

4.Compatibility with other management systems


the development of this International Standard, due consideration has been taken of the provisions of ISO 14001:2004 to enhance the compatibility of the two standards for the benefit of the user community.


This International Standard does not include requirements specific to other management systems, such as those particular to environmental management, occupational health and safety management, financial management or risk management. However, this International Standard enables an organization to align or integrate its own quality management system with related management system requirements. It is possible for an organization to adapt its existing management system(s) in order to establish a quality management system that complies with the requirements of this International Standard.
