Does anyone know of a successful program of a small city government to
incentivize members of its business community to seek ISO 14000
certification (or at least to develop an internal EMS). If so, was it
implemented via tax incentives or was the city able to sell the
companies on the advantages they could enjoy in the international
market? Any thoughts on how local governments can encourage their
business communities to pursue "sustainable development"?

Subject: iso14000 research project resources
Hi,
As I am currently writing my BSc(hons) research project on the iso14000
standard in relation to implementation in small and medium sized
enterprises I turn to this discussion list for advice.
I am working out from an assumption that SME's are increasingly being
forced into implementation by downward supply-chain pressure from larger
organisations.
The aim of the project is to uncover to what extent this is happening
and what the consequences of this might be.
I would be grateful for any advice, literature, contacts, interview
objects (UK) etc. that you may know of.
I am writing this project in the school of town and regional planning,
University of Dundee as a part of the coursework for the BSc(hons)
degree in Environmental Management.

Subject: FYI: U.S. Department of Energy - ISO 14001
To: ISO 14000 MAIL-LIST
"U.S. Department of Energy"
The following information
quoted from the
"DOE This Month"
September 1997 Issue
WIPP Achieves ISO 14001
The Waste isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) became the
second DOE facility, and first nuclear facility in the
United States, to achieve environmental excellence
under the International Organization for
Standardization's ISO 14001 criterion.
This also makes the site's management and operating
contractor, Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Waste
Isolation Division, the twenty-second private sector
recipient of this prestigious recognition.
ISO 14001 is a voluntary standard for developing and
implementing an environmental management system. The
standard was developed by the International
Organization for Standardization, which consists of 112
member countries, including the United States.
ISO 14001 serves as a guide for environmental
management programs and provides an internationally
recognized framework to measure, evaluate an audit
these programs. WIPP's environmental management system
includes elements of policy, planning, implementation,
corrective actions and management reviews.

From: Vieri Emiliani
Subject: R: Req: ISO 8402
The ISO 8402 title is "Quality management and quality assurance - Vocabulary" and, as the title states, it is a collection of terms and definitions used in quality management & QA standards.
In this standard you can find definitions of what "entity", "process", "procedure", "quality" mean, but, moreover, you can get what they meant with i.e. "dependability", "interchangeability", "quality losses" and so on, thus clarifying a bit how these ter
ms have been used in the ISO 9000 standards family.
The standard is organised in 4 sections:
SECTION I: General terms (like entity, product, service, organisation, ...)
SECTION II: Terms related to quality (like class, quality, conformity, ...)
SECTION III: Terms related to quality systems (like quality policy, quality planning, quality control,...)
SECTION IV: Terms related to techniques and instruments (like quality evaluation, degree of demonstration, hold point, ...)
The current revision is ISO 8402:1994, and contains about 70 terms and definitions.
IMO, it can be very useful also for quality experts and, by the way, it is a requirement for personnel qualification (i.e. quality auditor, etc.)
I don't know how is it in Canada, but here the only chance you have is to buy a copy from the local representative of ISO (UNI in Italy) or to "double" a copy of a friend of yours "for internal use only"!
Hope this can help.

about a fun contest I ran across yesterday on this site
http://www.iso14000.net
Since I am a sole practitioner I need to attend
a EMS lead auditing course and this contest promises free admission to
one. We'll see if they can deliver. It took a little while but I found
all the icons. Good luck to anyone who gives it a spin.
By the way, I have three children and we used cloth diapers for all of

From: James Grigsby
Subject: Trade barrier?
To the extent that Taiwan is a "developing nation", ISO 14001 has not become
any sort of international trade barrier. In fact, it has probably become a
greater intra-national trade barrier. Currently, suppliers are more likely
to be pressured to have ISO 14001 by their domestic customers than by their
international customers.
This is mostly due to the large number of companies that already have or are
working toward ISO 14001 certification in Taiwan (around 100 by year's end).
Certainly, one reason so many companies pursued certification is that the
government in Taiwan really played up the trade barrier possibility.
I suppose that if the number of certifications continues to grow as it has
here, ISO 14001 may become a trade barrier for more developed nations
importing into Taiwan. Interesting twist.

Subject: Integration
I send you this mail intending to consult you about the possible
integration of the quality and environmental management systems, based on the
standards ISO 9000 and ISO 14000, respectively.
Evidently, both standards have many common requirements: training,
document control, system audit, records, management review...; because of this,
it seems to be obvius that an integration could suppose some enterprise's
savings.
Beginning from an installed quality management system, could it be
workable to develop the quality procedures to include the environmental
management, and in the environmental documents to make reference to the
quality ones?
Or else, would it be viable to develop a single management system
including quality and environment?
In both cases, what problems could appear in implementation, use,
auditing? Considering a single procedure including quality and environment,
could both audits, quality and environment, be differents or would a common
audit be viabler?
I'll be very grateful for your answer, yours faithfully

On 23/9/97 James Grigsby made some comments that the take up rate of

Your comments concerning drivers in Taiwan was interesting. I have

Can you or anyone else shed any light on this?
Much ISO registration activity in U.S.A. seems to be related to asian

Dear J. Carico,
I have found that the Masters Program in Environmental Decision Making
offered by the Open University is very effective in combining both business
and science. The Open University is an accredited University located in
the United Kingdom. I have found the courses on the cutting edge of non
prescriptive environmental management and fairly international in its
composition. Additionally, the course is offered in a "Distance Learning"
mode, offering the flexibility of being able to do the coursework at
remote locations.
For further information concerning Environmental Management Studies at the
Open University, contact Dr. Ray Ison (email address: R.L.Ison@open.ac.uk) or
Dr. Rod Barratt; (email address: R.S.Barratt@open.ac.uk)

Hello Friends,
As part of our effort to encourage the growth of sustainable business, we
have started a new area on the Sustainable Business Network, "Green Dream Jobs."
The main question this section answers is, "Where do I find a job in a
sustainable business?"
To make this area successful, I'm asking for your help to network this
opportunity. Please feel free to send me postings for Jobs and Paid
Internships in sustainable businesses.
I wrote you a few months ago when we put up the section, "Sustainable
Business Opportunities." It's quickly become a very vibrant area for making
important connections for businesses.
Its purpose is to help green businesses find investors, partners,
distributors, licensees, and respond to RFPs. Hope you'll visit if you
haven't done so already.
Best wishes in your wonderful work,
Rona Fried, Ph.D.

Subject: Used filter disposal
Could anyone make a recommendation as to a more "environmentally
friendly" way to dispose (temporary storage) of used paint filters.
The filters are changed here quite frequently. In the past, they were
placed into containers and on two separate occasions they caught fire.
The company presently places the filters into used barrels and adds
water to reduce the potential of fire.
When I spoke to the company that treats this waste, they stated that
they prefer this method as they too have had fires. They stated that
they also treat the contaminated water at their facility.
My problem here is that the barrels are limited to the number of
filters that can be placed in them. I would also like to avoid using
water.
I am aware that other containers exist such as the Qurtrex line of
products, which have a greater capacity. However, the treatment
facility stated that any "dry" container will have a fire potential.
Are there any success stories out there?
Thank you,
Christian.

Christian,
Your problem lies in your paints, not your paint filters. The paints
you are applying auto-ignite and wetting the spent filters and handling
as ignitable hazardous waste is the standard management approach I'm
aware of.
I would suggest that you explore the possibility of switching to a
coating product which doesn't auto-ignite. I'd also take a look at
technology options for instance, powder coating, or air assisted
airless technologies. If you can switch paint products to avoid
autoignition, you've eliminated the problem and potentially a hazardous
waste stream. If you can't switch to a non-igniting paint, by improving
application efficiency with new technologies you can reduce overspray
and therefore the rate of generation of the spent filters.
There is a new site which may be of value. The Coating Alternatives
guide, the URL is .

The Inter committee Task Force on ISO 14000 of the Air & Waste Management
Association (AWMA) is preparing an application for an AWMA specialty
conference:
"Experience in Developing and Implementing Environmental
Management Systems." Specialty conferences typically are two and a
half day conferences at a location to be determined by AWMA
headquarters. The conference would be held about a year from now.
Conference speakers would prepare papers for presentation. The
conference proceedings would probably be published by AWMA.
The conference will focus on the practical experience of companies
and other institutions in developing and implementing EMS's, the costs,
the benefits including cost savings, and practical lessons to be learned
for other organizations undertaking this work. The issue of whether to
seek ISO 14000 certification would also be covered.
If you are interested in being a potential speakers for this conference,
please send an e-mail direct reply, i.e., do not reply to this e-mail
message by using the "reply to" feature of your mail program. Send your
"new message" by Monday, November 17 to Dr. Howard Ellis at the following
e-mail address: enviroplan@internetmci.com. By replying there is no
obligation; however, we do need to let AWMA Headquarters know of potential
speakers and how much interest has been shown in the proposal for this
conference.

BTW, a "non-member submission" doesn't necessarily mean that the person
posting isn't subscribed to this list, just that they aren't subscribed to
the list at the email address FROM WHICH THEY ARE NOW POSTING. The list
management software we use (called "Majordomo") has no way to identify
"jsmith@thomas.com"--who is subscribed to this list--as the same person as
"jsmith@beware.net". It's a simple program that compares the character
string in the "From:" field with the lines in the subscriber file. If they
don't match EXACTLY, the submitted message from that poster is designated
as a "non-member submission".
Thank you for your cooperation.

Subject: Agricultural uses of ISO 14000
I work for the New South Wales Department of Agriculture (Australia)
and employed to examine the uses of environmental management systems
in agriculture, to aid assist farmers and other agricultural workers
to develop and implement EMS's, and to examine the trade implications
of the use of EMS's in commodity production etc.
I have previously posted a similar message to the Agrisynergy mailing
list, so apologies for any duplications, but...
Does anyone have any good examples of the use of ISO 14000 or similar
systems in agriculture. In particular, I would like to receive case
studies (including economic evaluation if possible) of agricultural
enterprises that have developed and/or are using EMS's. I'm interested
in all facets of the agricultural industry, not just farms.
As an example, the only 2 agricultural enterprises currently certified
to ISO 14000 in Australia are a cotton farm (with it's own marketing
arm) and a milk processing factory, Bonlac.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone working on similar
areas, or if you have a case study or similar. I have undertaken to
develop a listing of the information that I receive for the 'Net for
the Agrisynergy group and would be happy to do the same here.
Many thanks in anticipation,
