PAS 99 Integrated Management

PAS 99 (Publicly Available Specification) is the world's first integrated management system requirements specification based on the six common requirements of ISO guide 72 (a standard for writing management system standards).

We developed it in response to market demand to align your processes and procedures into one holistic structure that enables you to run your operations more effectively.

Who is it relevant to?

Integrated management is suitable for any organization, regardless of size or sector, looking to integrate two or more of their management systems into one cohesive system with a holistic set of documentation, policies, procedures and processes.

Which standards can be used with PAS 99?

A typical integrated management system might include:

• ISO 9001 Quality
• ISO 14001 Environment
• BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety
• ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security
• ISO 22000 Food Safety
• ISO/IEC 20000 IT Service

This list is not finite and the range of standards incorporated into the integrated management system may vary - please contact us for more information.

Integrated management certification to PAS 99 demonstrates that you’re meeting all of your responsibilities and gives confidence to potential customers, suppliers, investors and stakeholders.

This isn't just good PR, implementation and certification can also save you money and make a real difference to your business’s bottom line.

Benefits include:

• Less conflict between systems
  By avoiding separate ‘empires’ for the likes of quality and environment, responsibilities are made clear from the outset.
• Improved communication, both internal and external
  By having one set of objectives, a team approach culture can thrive and improve communication.
• Enhanced business focus
  By having one system linked to the strategic objectives of the business contributes to the overall continual improvement of the organization.

Organizations successfully achieving integrated management certification will need to demonstrate that they have ONE management system that encompasses all existing processes and management systems standards into one structure in accordance with PAS 99. Certification to Integrated Management proves that you have achieved this critical objective.

An integrated management standard can consist of any number of standards, whether internal or external.

1. Buy the standard

Before you begin preparing for your application, you'll require a copy of the standard. You should read this and make yourself familiar with it. Visit your local website for further guidance or contact us directly for an exclusive colour copy and complimentary CD.

2. Make contact

Get in touch and tell us what you need, so we can sort out the best services for you. We’ll then give you a proposal detailing the cost and time involved.

3. Consider training

Whether you’re seeking to implement a management system or would like to increase your general awareness of the standard, there are a range of workshops, seminars and training courses available.

4. Meet your assessment team

We’ll assign you a Client Manager, who will be your main point of contact through the process – and beyond. They’ll have a strong understanding of your business area and will support you as you move forward to the assessment and registration of your integrated management systems.

5. Review and assessment

We’ll do a desktop review of your management system against PAS 99  and identify any omissions or weaknesses that need resolving before formal assessment. Once these have been addressed, we’ll conduct a full on-site assessment.

6. Certification and beyond

Once the assessment has been successfully completed, we’ll issue a certificate of registration, clearly explaining the scope of your management system. The certificate is valid for three years, and your assessor will visit you regularly to help you make sure you remain compliant, and support you in the continual improvement of your systems.
