65 - APPENDIX B - Standards referred to in this Handbook

This Handbook provides detailed guidance on integrating the requirements of AS/NZS ISO 9001:1994, AS/NZS ISO 14001:1996 and AS/NZS 4804:1997 into a single management system. It includes advice on why integration should be considered and how the integration process could be managed. It includes a section where the Clauses of the three Standards are grouped on the basis of common features, with advice on how these features could be combined. The Handbook is issued on an interim basis and will be revised when the current revisions of AS/NZS ISO 9001 and AS/NZS ISO 14001 are issued.
