What if we want to combine ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 after implementing ISO 9001?
If an organization already has ISO 9001, there are many common requirements which do not need to be repeated when you combine ISO 9001 with ISO 14001. (Please see FREE tutorial comparing ISO 9001 with ISO 14001 for more info)

It is often more efficient to combine these two manuals (EMS & QMS) into one - sharing the common clauses and procedures. We have considered this when creating a package to simplify the implementation for an organization who is already familiar with an ISO 9001 based standard. Rather than have parallel (duplicate) Manuals, we note where the user can just add EMS requirements to the existing QMS Manual..
The 14000 Store provides products for organizations in all stages of QMS and/or EMS development, including:
ISO Guideline on the integration of Management Systems
Contrary to many other types of standards, management system standards cover multiple aspects, levels and functions of an organization and, therefore, their implementation can have a substantial impact on how an organization operates and manages its business processes. In addition, more and more organizations are applying not only one, but a range of management system standards to satisfy their own needs as well as those of external stakeholders.
The book acknowledges that there is a market need for separate management system standards addressing different aspects, issues or risks that organizations need to manage. It provides guidance on how organizations can apply the different standards in a combined way, integrated with their business processes.
