Frequently asked questions
What is ISO 14001:2015 certification?
ISO 14001:2015 specifies requirements for an environmental management system. It helps organizations manage their environmental responsibilities systematically and demonstrate compliance with applicable laws.
How long does ISO 14001 certification take in India?
With documents ready, certificates are issued in 7-15 days through non-IAF accredited bodies such as IAS, UAF and ASCB. First-time sites may need 30-60 days of EMS operation before audit.
Is this Non-IAF accredited?
Yes. The mark is non-IAF and issued by accredited certification bodies including IAS, UAF, ASCB and others. IAF-accredited marks via QCI/NABCB CBs are scoped separately.
What is the validity of an ISO 14001 certificate?
Validity is 3 years from issue, subject to successful annual surveillance audits and a re-certification audit before expiry. Suspension occurs if any audit is failed or unattended.
Do I need pollution board consent before ISO 14001?
The audit checks legal compliance, so existing CTE/CTO under the Air Act 1981 and Water Act 1974 are typically required for applicable manufacturing sites before certification.
Can ISO 14001 be integrated with other standards?
Yes. ISO 14001:2015 uses the Annex SL structure, which makes integration with ISO 9001 (QMS) and ISO 45001 (OH and S) straightforward for a single management system.
Is ISO 14001 mandatory for exporters?
It is not legally mandatory in India but is widely required by global buyers, especially across EU supply chains, sustainability audits and ESG-linked tenders.
What is the cost of ISO 14001 in India?
Non-IAF ISO 14001 in India starts from ₹9,999 with annual surveillance at ₹4,999. Final price depends on employee count, sites and number of significant environmental aspects.
