PAS 99

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PAS 99 (Specification of common management system requirements as a framework for integration) is a Publicly Available Specification published by the British Standards Institution.

Many organizations have adopted or are adopting formal management system standards and/or specifications such as:

  • ISO 9001
  • ISO 14 001
  • ISO/IEC 27 001
  • ISO 22 000
  • ISO/IEC 20 000
  • OHSAS 18 001

PAS 99 helps you to visualise the common requriements that all those standards have.

Frequently these are operated as independent systems. In all management system, however there are certain common elements which can be managed in an integrated way: the essential unity of all these systems within the overall management system of the organisation can then be recognized and used to the best. Therefore organizations are questioning the approach having separate systems.

PAS 99 is primarily meant to be used by those organizations who are implementing the requirements of two or more management standards.
