What impact does the ISO14000 series of standards have on trade?

Release date：2021-05-20 author： click：

One of the guiding ideologies of ISO/TC207 when formulating ISO14000 is: "Do not increase and strive to eliminate trade barriers, CARB certification is for areas with good or poor environments."

Objectively speaking, the ISO14000 series of standards unify the basic requirements of the environmental management system, so that those countries that create trade barriers have converged; the standards require countries to disclose their relevant systems, product standards and factory inspection methods to provide convenient conditions for their trading partners. Help eliminate trade barriers.

On the other hand, the implementation of the ISO14000 series of standards is another barrier. It will create actual trade barriers for countries and organizations that have no information and are slow to act. The developed countries have a similar attitude towards the ISO14000 series of standards. They started pilot inspections when the standards were still in draft, and completed the domestic conversion work after the official release of the standards; developed countries also used the environment as an excuse to propose to developing countries Requested. Therefore, if developing countries want to get rid of their controlled status, they must quickly start the implementation of ISO14000. In this sense, the ISO14000 factory inspection is a passport to the future international trade market.

In fact, the status of environmental issues in international trade has become increasingly obvious. The environment has been linked with factors such as safety and health, forming serious technical trade barriers. Such barriers are deliberately created by countries to protect their domestic people and domestic markets, and they will be difficult to eliminate in the near future.
