It is generally true that the 14000 series are the environmental standards, whilst the 9000 series (e.g. ISO 9001) is generally considered to be quality standards. However, there is cross-over and environmental issues are also present in other series. For example, a standard on auditing, which applies to both quality and environmental management systems, is published as part of the 9000 series:
- ISO 19011:2002 – Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing.
