In today’s globally connected world, maintaining stringent environmental standards is essential for businesses across various industries. From research and development to pharmaceuticals and food production, adhering to environmental regulations ensures the safety, quality, and compliance of operations. ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) standards play a pivotal role in guiding these efforts. We’ll explore the key ISO standards for environmental monitoring and how T-Scan’s comprehensive solutions can help you meet these standards effectively.

Introduction to ISO Standards

ISO standards are internationally recognised guidelines that ensure the quality, safety, efficiency, and consistency of products, services, and systems. In the context of environmental monitoring, these standards provide a framework for systematically managing environmental responsibilities, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting sustainable practices.

Key ISO Standards for Environmental Monitoring

ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems

ISO 45001 addresses occupational health and safety management, providing guidelines to:

• Improve employee safety

While not exclusively focused on environmental monitoring, it complements ISO 14001 by promoting a holistic approach to health, safety, and environmental management.

ISO 22000: Food Safety Management Systems

ISO 22000 outlines the requirements for a food safety management system, applicable to any organisation in the food chain. It focuses on:

• Ensuring food safety from production to consumption
• Managing food safety hazards
• Enhancing food safety performance

Environmental monitoring is a critical component of maintaining food safety, particularly in controlling temperature, humidity, and contamination risks.
