ISO TC207
SCOPE
• Standardization in the field of environmental management systems and tools in support of sustainable development.
Excluded
• test methods of pollutants, setting limit values and levels of environmental performance, and standardization of products.

Proposed scope amendment
Standardization in the field of environmental management to address environmental and climate impacts in support of sustainable development, including related social and economic aspects.
Excluded: test methods of pollutants, setting limit values and levels of environmental performance, and
standardization of products.
Note: The TC for environmental management is focused on environmental management systems; auditing, verification and related investigations; environmental labelling; environmental performance evaluation; life cycle assessment; climate change and its mitigation and adaptation; environmental economics and environmental finance.

ISO 14001
ISO 14001 (2015) Environmental management systems —Requirements with guidance for use
• First published 1996, minor revision 2004, latest edition 2015
• Over half a million users around the world

ISO 14001 – considerations for revision
Three key inputs to inform the next revision of ISO 14001
1. Changes being made to ISO’s High Level Structure for management systems core text – has implications for the next version of ISO 14001
2. ISO 14001 worldwide user survey – in development
3. EMS Future Challenges – work underway
Anticipate developing the scope of revision and associated project specification in 2021…potential new standard ~2025!
