Following a successful witnessed audit the UKAS ISO 14001 accreditation of Advanced Certification has been extended to include Chemical Manufacturing (EAC 12). Advanced Certification becomes only the 23rd UKAS Accredited Certification Body that has demonstrated full competence for the entire spectrum of Chemicals Manufacturing.

The long anticipated ballot results are positive and ISO/DIS.2 45001 has been approved, it is anticipated that the FDIS 45001 will be published in September with the full ISO 45001 published in early 2018. Advanced Certification met with Nigel Overton and Gerry Norman of UKAS last week and we have agreed in principle the first stages of assessment to transition/migrate our accreditation from OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001.

We expect this project to commence in March/April 2018 and prior to the UKAS effort we will be reaching out to our clients and confirming the process for registered clients to move from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001.

Further updates will follow as the standard is published
