Revisions of ISO 14001
The first revision occurred in 2004, which
introduced minor changes to make the standard
more aligned with the ISO 9001 Quality Standard.
Afterwards, the revisions in 2009 also made minor
corrections without adding any new
requirements.
In 2015, ISO announced that it would make more

fundamental changes to the Standard. The ISO
14001:2015 has a High Level Structure that
includes core text, and common terms and
definitions that will help with future revisions of
the management system standards. The new
structure also helps the system integrate various
methodologies, such as the PDCA approach.
