ISO 14001:2004 Draft Standard - Approved on 15th November 2004

[Sushil Kumar]

Hi Everybody
As all of us know that standard 14001:1996 is upgraded to 14001:2004. This draft standrad is approved on 15th November 2004.But both standards will work simultaneously for 18 months. Can anybody get me the draft or final standard copy?

Get yourself a copy. Better still buy it from Indian Standard Biro or buy at ISO Secretariat!!!!!

I agree. We don't 'traffic' in copyright documents here.

Sushil, for a summary of the changes made to ISO 14001, follow this link.

I also notice that you are somewhat new to the Cove and perhaps were unaware of our policy on "sharing" copyrighted documented. At the very top of the ISO 14000 forum you will see a thread on this very topic...or follow this link.

When it comes to copyrights, the Cove's members take the rules very seriously. There are serious legal ramifications when copyrights are violated and none of us here wish to get the Cove in trouble.

Hope you understand.

There is no copy with BIS at present. & it will take approximately three months time to avail it.

The ISO 14001:2004 published and issued on Nov. 15, 2004 is an official document. Period! It is no longer a draft and ISO 14001:2004 IS not A DRAFT. It is an international standard now.

Perhaps, each country member may take a while to get ISO 14001:2004 to be adopted into their own national standard.

I believe ISO enforces copyright rules to their draft versions, as well. Oh, by the way, I'm female...not a "sir". But you aren't the first to call me that.

You are correct, SilverHawk, that the document issued earlier this month was indeed the official revision to ISO 14001. There could be something as simple as communication issues at play here.

And, yes, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes member countries, whose official language is not one of those immediately published by ISO, a few months to catch up. I believe Claes even mentioned it would take several months before ISO 14001:2004 would be published in his native Swedish...so he was going to spend his time perusing the English version.
