ISO-14000 Standards After the rapid acceptance of ISO 9000, and the increase of environmental standards around the world, ISO assessed the need for international environmental management standards. They formed the Strategic Advisory Group on the Environmental (SAGE) in 1991, to consider whether such standards could serve to:

• Promote a common approach to environmental management similar to quality management.
• Enhance organization's ability to attain and measure improvements in environmental performance.
• Facilitate trade and remove trade barriers.

In 1992, SAGE's recommendations created a new committee, TC207, for international environmental management standards. The committee, and its sub-committees include representatives from industry, standards organizations, government and environmental organizations from many other countries. The new series of ISO14000 standards are designed to cover:

• Environmental management systems
• Environmental auditing
• Environmental performance evaluation
• Environmental labeling
• Life-Cycle assessment
• Environmental aspects in product standards
