Features: The document writing approach and methods adopted in this book are as follows:
1. The ISO 9001 quality management system and ISO 14001 environmental management system are integrated into a unified management system, abbreviated as "QEMS" (QEMS—Quality-Environmental Management Systems). The manual is titled "QEM Manual," and corresponding procedural documents totaling 18 are compiled.
2. Based on the ISO 9001:2000 standard as the main framework and the "Process Approach" as the foundation, the requirements of the ISO 14001:1996 standard are incorporated (the same approach can also be applied by taking ISO 14001:1996 as the main framework and incorporating the process requirements of ISO 9001:2000).
3. The chapters of the "QEM Manual" are described in the order of the ISO 9001:2000 standard. When the same or similar clauses from both standards apply to the same process, descriptions of both quality and environmental aspects are provided simultaneously. Clauses requiring separate descriptions for each standard are addressed individually. For example: design and development, customer focus, environmental factors, emergency preparedness and response are described separately.
4. In the "Procedural Documents," the requirements of both standards for the same process are described together. For significant differences, separate procedures are written. For instance: "Environmental Factor Identification, Evaluation, and Update Procedure," "Emergency Preparedness and Response Procedure," and "Waste Management Procedure" are written as separate documents.
5. This book uses a plastic processing enterprise as an example and is also suitable for chemical production, machinery manufacturing, and other industries.
6. The examples in this book are applicable to integrated or unified management systems.
7. The book can also be referenced for the integration of any two or three systems among ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and the OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety evaluation series into an integrated or unified management system.
8. The example company, Beijing Hueli Co., Ltd., in this book is a fictional company.
