The laboratory must have policy and procedures for all purchasing requirements, whether laboratory consumables, equipment, or calibration services. Records must be kept and any checks to ensure the products are fit for purpose documented. Records of purchases should be sufficiently detailed to identify what was purchased, when it was purchased, and any other relevant information, and the management system standard under which they were made should be identified. 

EMS the CER states that all BOC businesses are working to implement our international Environmental Management System standards . The intention to work to a recognised EMS is clearly demonstrated, since in 1997 four sites were certified to ISO 14001, and the 1999 annual report states during the year a further seven sites have achieved certification to ISO 14001 . 

There are several reasons for standards for quality management systems. As indicated, quality assurance involves the demonstration of good-quality products and services. The quality management system is the organization that enables this assurance to be accomplished. Quality management system standards provide a guideline for a manufacturing or service company to determine if proper quality...

This Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) guideline, and OHSAS 18001 2007, Occupational health and safety management systems— Requirements, have been developed in response to customer demand for a recognizable occupational health and safety management system standard against which their management systems can be assessed and certified, and for guidance on the implementation of such a standard. (British Standards Institute, BSI-OHSAS 18002 2008, p. 3)... 

A safety and health audit of the work being done to control loss measures the safety system and highlights its strengths and weaknesses. The audit compares work being done, and standards being maintained, with accepted safety and health standards. It can be used to review and evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the safety system, and also to establish whether or not it meets international safety management system standards. 

The management system standards in these families state requirements for what the organization must do to manage processes influencing quality (ISO 9000) or the processes influencing the impact of the organization s activities on the environment (ISO 14000). In both cases, the philosophy is that these requirements are generic. 

The ISO 9001 2000 has only the one quality management system standard, replacing the current set of 9001,9002, and 9003. The ISO 9001 2000 and ISO 9004 2000 standards will have consistent numbering and will be compatible with the environmental management standards (ISO 14001). 

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) develops and publishes international standards on scientific and technical issues in industry. Many institutions in developing countries are increasingly seeking to attain certification in international laboratory standards set by ISO, such as the Quality Management Systems standard (ISO 9001) and the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories... 

With growing concern of environment and sustainability, Imerys has taken an initiative to evaluate the sustainability aspects of the calcium carbonate mineral. lifecycle inventory (LCI) is a key part of the International Environmental Management System standards 14044 2006. This tool is used by companies in the plastics supply chain to understand the environmental impact of raw materials critical for plastics production. LCI analysis of treated ground calcium carbonate compared to base resins was carried out since treated GCC is used to replace some of the resin volume in plastics production. The production of treated GCC was found to have a lower impact on the environment than the production of various resin systems, including PVC, PE, and PP. Raw material and energy use inputs were included in the study, as were environmental emissions to land, air, and water [11]. 

ISO 9000 a set of international quality management system standards and guidelines. Since their initial publication in 1987, they have earned a global reputation as the basis for establishing quality management systems.

An abstract is provided for each chapter to serve as a content reference. This book gives guidance on applying the provisions of ANSI/AIHA ZlO-2005, the Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Standard, and on serious injury prevention as interrelated subjects. The order in which chapters appear supports that rationale. 

On July 25, 2005, the American National Standards Institute approved the Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Standard, designated as ANSUAIHA Z10-2005. Thus, for the first time in the United States, a national consensus standard was issued for safety and health management systems applicable to organizations of all sizes and types. 

ZIO being a management system standard, not a specification standard... 

Since ZIO is compatible and in harmony with the ISO 9000 and ISO 14,000 series of standards, and since ZIO represents current best practices, and since consideration will more than likely be given again to the development of an international safety and health management system standard at ISO, one can easily speculate on ZIO becoming the model for that standard. Continue the speculation and international requirements for accredited safety and health management systems related to ZIO may be envisioned. 

Similar continual improvement charts, based on the PDCA concept, are shown in the ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9000-2000 series, the Quality Management Systems Standards. The ISO 14000 series on environmental management was revised in 2004 to make it compatible with the ISO 9000 series. It is also based on the PDCA concept. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests building an environmental management system on a PDCA model.

ZIO represents an important step in the evolution of the practice of safety. It is a continual improvement management systems standard for which processes are to be in place to address hazards, risks, and deficiencies in safety management systems. Thus, ZIO is an occupational risk management standard.

The drafters of ZIO did weU in basing the Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Standard on the PDCA concept. Doing so makes the standard compatible with other internationally accepted standards and facilitates melding the provisions in ZIO with other business practices.
