Erfolgreiches Umweltmanagement nach DIN EN ISO 14001:2026 und EMAS

DIN EN ISO 14001 was fundamentally revised in 2026. Companies that are introducing an environmental management system for the first time or adapting their existing system to the current version of the standard face new requirements and expanded areas of focus. This practical guide provides hands-on guidance and supports the implementation of the standard’s requirements in day-to-day business operations.

The fully revised and expanded 3rd edition explains the requirements of DIN EN ISO 14001:2026 in line with the structure of the standard while also taking into account the additional requirements of EMAS.

The book contains:

• all requirements of DIN EN ISO 14001:2026 from Clauses 4 to 10 in their full wording
• additional EMAS requirements
• clear explanations for practical implementation
• practical examples from different industries
• customizable text examples, sample forms, checklists and templates that can be accessed electronically and used for an organization’s own environmental management system

Practical support for introducing and further developing environmental management systems

The content follows the structure of the standard and provides systematic guidance through its requirements.

The new features of the 2026 edition are marked “New” in the book. The updates focus in particular on changes to the standard text, consideration of climate change, amendments to the EC Eco-Audit Regulation (EMAS III), the establishment of an audit program, and the handling of nonconformities, corrections and corrective actions.

The publication combines the requirements of the standard with practical implementation guidance. It contains the requirements of DIN EN ISO 14001:2026 from Clauses 4 to 10 in their full original wording, clear interpretations and explanations for practical implementation, including the additional EMAS requirements, as well as practical examples from different industries and organizations of different sizes. The content is supplemented by customizable samples and templates that can be accessed via the DIN Media Library and adapted to individual operational requirements.

The publication therefore supports both the introduction of an environmental management system and the adaptation of an existing system to the requirements of the 2026 edition.
