ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 75
Which of the following is an international standard for environmental management systems developed by ISO?
Explanation
ISO 14001 — the international standard that specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS).
ISO 14001 has an organization identify the environmental aspects of its activities, set environmental objectives, run and monitor its operations to meet them, and improve continually through the PDCA cycle. Organizations can be certified against it by a third party.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- •(a) ISO 9000 — the family of standards for quality management systems (ISO 9001 holds the requirements)
- •(c) ISO/IEC 20000 — the standard for IT service management
- •(d) ISO/IEC 27000 — the family of standards for information security management systems (ISMS)
Key rule: Remember the management-system standards by number: 9000 quality, 14000 environment, 20000 IT services, 27000 information security.
