ESTUDO DA COMPLEMENTARIEDADE DE SISTEMAS DE GESTÃO AMBIENTAL E SISTEMAS DE GESTÃO DA ANÁLISE DE PERIGOS E PONTOS CRÍTICOS DE CONTROLE

Abstract

In the past few years, food companies have been showing a growing interest in implementing Environment Management Systems (EMS), based on the recommendations of ISO 14001. However, many of these companies have already implanted a food safety system based on HACCP that is regulated in Brazil by the standard NBR 14900. The choice for using similar elements of management systems from NBR 14900 and ISO 14001 may reduce the efforts for implanting an EMS in companies that already have a HACCP-MS, the opposite being also true. The present text will explore the possibilities of these supposed complementarities. In conclusion, 17 elements of ISO 14001 and 24 elements of NBR 14900 are complementary, and only one element of each system cannot be considered equivalent.
