ISO 9000 FAMILY

QUALITY MANAGEMENT
For organizations asking how to improve the quality of their products and services
and consistently meet their customers’ expectations, ISO has an answer. Addressing various
aspects of quality management and containing some of ISO’s best-known standards, there’s the
ISO 9000 family.

WHY ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the
family that can be certified to (although this is not a requirement). It can be used by any
organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. In fact, there are over one million
companies and organizations in over 170 countries certified to ISO 9001.
This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong
customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and
continual improvement. These principles are explained in more detail in ISO’s quality
management principles. Using ISO 9001 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good-quality
products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.

ISO 14000 FAMILY

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
For companies and organizations of any type that require practical tools to manage their
environmental responsibilities, there’s the ISO 14000 family.

ISO 50001
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
For organizations committed to addressing their impact, conserving resources and improving the
bottom line through efficient energy management, we developed ISO 50001.

Designed to support organizations in all sectors, this ISO standard provides a practical way to

improve energy use, through the development of an energy management system (EnMS).
DEVELOPING AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for
other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for
organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and
environmental management.
ISO 50001 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to:

 Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy

 Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
 Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
 Measure the results
 Review how well the policy works, and
 Continually improve energy management.
CERTIFICATION TO ISO 50001
Like other ISO management system standards, certification to ISO 50001 is possible but not
obligatory. Some organizations decide to implement the standard solely for the benefits it
provides. Others decide to get certified to it, to show external parties they have implemented an
energy management system. ISO does not perform certification.

BS OHSAS 18001 -
Occupational Health and
Safety Management (OHS)
BS OHSAS 18001 has been replaced by ISO 45001 the new
international standard for occupational health and safety.
Organizations who are already certified to BS OHSAS 18001 will need
to upgrade to ISO 45001 by March 2021.
Discover more about ISO 45001 in our video featuring experts who
developed the standard.

What is OHSAS 18001?

BS OHSAS 18001 is a framework for an occupational health and safety
(ohs) management system and is a part of the OHSAS 18000
(sometimes incorrectly identified as ISO 18000) series of standards,
along with OHSAS 18002. It can help you put in place the policies,
procedures and controls needed for your organization to achieve the
best possible working conditions and workplace health and safety,
aligned to internationally recognized best practice.
