which it ean contro! and those which it can influence. It does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria,
except as defined by e-Stewards® requirements.
This international Standard is applicable to any Organization that wishes to :
a) establish, implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system in conformity with
ISQ 14001: 2004 and e-Stewards® requirements,
b) assure itself of conformity with its stated environmental policy, and minimize internal and customer
risks associated with the environment, occupational health and safety, and data security,
c) demonsirate conformity with this international Standard only by exercising option 4 below
1. making a self-determination and self-declaration (not allowed under e-Stewards® requirements), or
2. seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as
customers {not allowed under e-Stewards® requirements), or
3. seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party extemal to the organization (not allowed
under e-Stewards® requirements), or
4. seeking certification/registration of its environmental management system by an external
organization, and specifically by an e-Stewards® accredited certification body.
All the requirements in this international Standard are intended to be incorporated into any e-Stewards® environmental
management system. The extent of the application depends on factors such as the environmental policy of the Organiza-
tion, the nature of its activities, products and services and the location where and the conditions in which it functions. This
International Standard also provides, in Annex A1, informative guidance an ils use.
The e-Stewards® Standard specifies minimum performance requirements for eligible Organizations in the electronics
Recycling, asset recovery, Processing, and refining industries, inserted into the framework of the [SO 14007 environmen-
tal management system standard. This enables an Organization to develop policies and objectives which also take into
account information about significant health and safety, data security, and social accountability aspects of iis operation.
The term “environmental management system’, as used throughout this Standard, includes within its scope the environ-
mental, occupational health and safety, data security, social accountability, and other performance requirements identified
in this Standard. The scope of the management system also extends to Ancillary Sites owned and/or Controlled by the
e-Stewards® corporate entity (see Appendix B for more information on Ancillary Sites.)
1.1 Application // 1.1.1 integration with ISO 1 4001: 2004
The e-Stewards® Standard fully incorporates the requirements of the intemational environmental management systems
standard, [SO 14001: 2004° (ISO). It also includes industry-specific performance requirements which are fully integrated
into ISO 14001and are written for use internationally.
For the sake of clarity, regular font indicates the e-Stewards® industry-specific performance requirements throughout this
Standard, while italic font depicts the requirements of ISO 14001: 2004. The font style does not infer greater or lesser
importance of the text. Conformance to this e- Stewards® Standard requires that both sets of criteria be met in order to
receive e-Stewards® certification.
The textual requirements of ISO 14001: 2004 are reproduced in full in this Standard, including references to this
document as an “International Standard.” Where this phrase is used in italic font, “Intemational Standard” refers to 1SO
44001: 2004, and may also refer to the e-Stewards® Standard requirements.”
