Common and Non-common Requirements in ISO Management System Standards

There are numerous ISO management system standards that may provide useful guidance to EHS managers:

14001, 9001 (consumer satisfaction), 19600 (compliance), 22301 (business continuity), 27000 (security), 28000 (security in the supply chain),  39001 (transportation), 45001 (OHS), 50001 (energy), and 55001 (asset management). The current, 21st century versions of these standards have 18 requirements in common.   However, each standard has added its own topic-specific requirements to the 18 common requirements.   

In addition, each standard has its own operational requirements.  The current revisions of these standards all have the same format and structure. Therefore any single management system using the current structure can be suitably enhanced with the guidance from the other standards to improve effectiveness without degrading adequacy.  This is because the additional guidance has a logical, usable place in the existing management system.
