System integration: the views and activities of certification bodies
Abstract
The paper reports the views and activities of a sample of system certification bodies with respect to the integration of quality management, environmental management, and occupational health and safety management systems. It is pointed out that such bodies have not been active in the promotion of integration but there are indications that they are now starting to show an interest. However, their activities, at the moment, are mainly limited to the promotion of integration by the identified linkages between ISO 9001/2, ISO 14001 and BS 8800.
