Which of the following standards from the ISO 14000 series is a normative standard ?
Answer: A
The normative standard is ISO 14001.
ISO 14001 specifies the requirements of an environmental management system: an environmental policy, planning, implementation, checking and management review. Because it states requirements, an organisation can be audited and certified against it, which is what makes it normative (a specification standard).
The other standards in the series give guidance only: ISO 14020 sets general principles for environmental labels, ISO 14040 the principles of life cycle assessment, and ISO 14015 the environmental assessment of sites and organisations. None is used for certification.
