The revised ISO 14001:2026 environmental management standard was published in April 2026. Existing 14001:2015 system accreditations are valid until at least June 2027 and there will be a transition phase which has previously been a three year period (2029).

Begin planning now by reviewing your system against the summary below. There are no new requirements, only more specific and detailed exploration of existing clauses and some additional clauses are required as a result.

Independent Safety Services Ltd can offer guidance and practical support through this transition to make sure your organisation is fully prepared. Please contact us at info@issafe.co.uk or call 0114 272 2113.
