ISO 14001 Environmental Management in Concrete Production: Eurolabs Testing Services

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). It provides a framework for organizations to develop and implement an EMS that addresses the environmental aspects of their activities, products, or services. In the context of concrete production, ISO 14001 requires laboratories to test and evaluate the environmental impact of concrete production processes.

The relevant standards governing ISO 14001 Environmental Management in Concrete Production testing include:

  • ISO 14001:2015: International Standard for environmental management systems

  • EN 15804:2012: European Standard for sustainability of construction works, including concrete production

  • ASTM C1304-14: American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard for testing the workability of fresh self-consolidating concrete

  • TSE 8178:2009: Turkish Standards Institution (TSI) standard for environmental management systems

    • These standards provide a framework for laboratories to follow when conducting ISO 14001 Environmental Management in Concrete Production testing. Eurolab, as an accredited laboratory, adheres to these standards and ensures that its testing services meet the requirements of ISO 14001.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and publishing international standards, including ISO 14001. Other standard development organizations involved in environmental management include:

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): Develops European standards, such as EN 15804

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops ASTM standards, such as C1304-14
