Quality Resource Center’s Implementation Program
QRC has assisted more than 350 organizations to implement ISO systems since 1993. Following are reasons why organizations select QRC to assist them in achieving ISO 14001 certification:
-
Minimum time to first-time certification
The standard time for implementing an ISO 14001 system is 5 to 6 months. The events on the “Timeline for ISO 14001 Implementation” chart can be extended over more than 6 months or shortened by speeding up the documentation/review process that takes place in the first several months of the project.The standard time for implementing ISO 14001 without outside assistance ranges from 18 months to two years. -
Pre-agreed timeline
A calendar of events is prepared based on considerations defined by your organization. -
Co-Project Management
The Implementation Project is jointly managed by an ISO Coordinator from your company and QRC’s ISO 14001 specialist. The ISO Coordinator schedules the activities and access to personnel that is needed for the activities shown on the timeline. QRC does most of the work for you and ensures that your personnel know how to operate and maintain the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. -
Most efficient use of your staff resources
Your personnel provides input and approval of documentation that is prepared by QRC. The amount of time required for these activities is minimal compared to allocating release time for key personnel (and replacing those people) while they work on documentation. -
Minimum disruption of your present operation
QRC’s implementation approach recognizes that you must continue to run your company at the same time you are setting up the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. This is why QRC does almost all of the work for you. -
Record of 100% first-time certification
All companies that have used QRC’s full-service implementation program have received certification following their first audit by a Registrar. -
