RC14001
Responsible Care Management System
Certifiable scheme
Technical specification for integrating Responsible Care requirements with ISO 14001 environmental management systems in the chemical industry.
What is RC14001?
RC14001 is a management system standard developed for the chemical industry that integrates the principles of the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care® initiative with the ISO 14001 environmental management system framework. It provides a structured approach for chemical companies to manage their environmental, health, safety, and security (EHS&S) performance. The standard goes beyond traditional environmental management by incorporating chemical safety, process safety, product stewardship, and community awareness into a single, auditable management system.
