as my observation, there are matrix's that indicated similarities in principle (see attached), this example makes me just think of the possible scenarios that such 3 systems can be integrated as a single entity.
those 3 process = quality (products and services, environ mgnt, and occupation condition)
thus, integration is possible.

Let's look at some statistics. According to the ISO survey, at the end of 2010 there were over 1,109,905 certificates issued to ISO 9001 and around 250,972 certificates issued to ISO 14001. There were only about 22½% as many 14001 certificates. If the numbers were roughly equal, I might believe that there could be demand for an integrated system standard. Even then, I believe many organizations would still like to have option of implementing one or the other, or implementing one first and then the other.
