ISO 14001 Certification in Malaysia

ISO 14001 Certification in Malaysia

ISO 14001:2015 is the internationally recognised Environmental Management System (EMS) standard, providing organisations with a systematic framework to manage their environmental responsibilities. In Malaysia, ISO 14001 certification is increasingly required by the Department of Environment (DOE), major industry buyers, and international trade partners — particularly in manufacturing, construction, palm oil, and chemical sectors.

Axis Cert is an internationally accredited ISO 14001 certification body providing independent and impartial EMS certification audit services to organisations across all states and cities in Malaysia. Our qualified environmental auditors objectively assess your EMS implementation and effectiveness against the ISO 14001:2015 requirements.

What is ISO 14001 Certification?

ISO 14001:2015 is the international standard for Environmental Management System. It provides organisations with a systematic framework to manage, monitor, and continually improve their EMS performance — helping organisations in Malaysia meet regulatory requirements, satisfy stakeholder expectations, and demonstrate management system conformance to internationally recognised requirements.

6 Core Principles of ISO 14001:

Principle What It Means
Environmental Policy Management commitment to environmental protection and continual improvement
Environmental Aspects Identify activities interacting with the environment and their significance
Legal Compliance Identify and comply with Malaysian environmental laws and DOE requirements
Objectives & Targets Set measurable environmental objectives and track progress
