ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems
TQS conducts ISO 14001 certification audits for organisations worldwide. Our auditors evaluate your environmental management system against every clause of the standard, from initial gap analysis through to re-certification.
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001:2015 is the internationally recognised standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS), published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It sets out requirements for a systematic framework that enables organisations of any type, size, or sector to identify, monitor, and control their environmental aspects, prevent pollution, ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and pursue continual improvement in environmental performance. The standard follows the Annex SL high-level structure, making it fully compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 for integrated management systems.
Organisations pursue ISO 14001 certification to demonstrate that they have effective controls over their environmental impact. A certified EMS helps reduce resource consumption, manage waste and emissions, meet regulatory obligations, and satisfy the growing expectations of customers, investors, and communities regarding environmental stewardship.
Al Tair Quality Services (TQS) conducts ISO 14001 certification audits worldwide, working with ASCB, EIAC and IAF accreditation bodies. With 25+ years of experience, our qualified auditors assess your environmental management system thoroughly and impartially. We perform gap analysis, Stage 1 documentation reviews, Stage 2 on-site assessments, annual surveillance audits, and re-certification audits across all sectors — including energy, manufacturing, construction, transport, food, services, and government. Certificates are issued by QRS upon successful completion of the audit.

How It Works
The TQS Audit Process
TQS conducts ISO 14001 certification audits through a structured, three-stage process. Here is how our auditors take you from application to certified status.
Application & Gap Analysis
You submit your application and our auditors review your EMS documentation, identify any gaps against ISO 14001 requirements, and define the audit scope aligned with your environmental aspects and applicable legislation.
Stage 1 & Stage 2 Audits
Our auditors conduct a documentation and readiness review (Stage 1), followed by a comprehensive on-site assessment (Stage 2) evaluating your EMS against every clause of ISO 14001.
Certification & Surveillance
Once all requirements are satisfied, your ISO 14001 certificate is issued by QRS. TQS then conducts annual surveillance audits to maintain your certification, with a full re-certification audit every three years.
