In carrying out the development of American National Standards, ANSI often delegates the preparation of standards to
20、 accredited technical organizations. The American Society for Quality (ASQ) is recognized by ANSI for the preparation of quality-related standards. The ASQ Mission is to facilitate continuous improvement and increase customer satisfaction by identifying, communicating, and promoting the use of quali

29、nt system for environmental programs. A national consensus standard for quality systems for environmental programs involving environmental data and technology has been shown to be a valuable instrument to verify and help to improve the suitability and effectiveness of quality control and quality ass
30、urance practices applied to environmental programs. The environmental community has been forced in the past to use several different standards and frequently has required duplicate quality assurance (QA) functions and documentation on the same project or task to satisfy different customers requireme
31、nts. This American National Standard is intended to provide a minimum set of requirements to enable organizations to plan, implement, and assess the suitability and effectiveness of a quality system to support environmental programs involving environmental data and technology. It provides definition
32、s of relevant terms and general principles necessary for any quality management system. Recognizing the diversity of scope of environmental programs and the breadth of the field of application, this standard also provides non-mandatory guidelines in an annex to enable users of the standard to extend
33、 quality beyond the minimum requirements. 0.2 Compatibility with Other Management Systems This Standard incorporates relevant criteria from other management systems standards and guidelines, including the IS0 9000 series, and presents them from an environmental data and technology perspective. There
34、 is some deliberate duplication in the Standard in order to preserve the logical flow of the requirements and to provide a self-contained document that would not require references to other standards. This Standard is intended to be used to create appropriate and effective quality systems to support
35、 an organizations mission relative to environmental programs. This Standard uses the principle of graded approach to foster the development of quality systems. Graded approach provides for a level of applied practices and their comprehensiveness that reflect the importance of the work being performe
36、d and that will produce the type and quality of results needed and expected. This Standard defines and describes quality control and quality assurance activities for environmental programs involving environmental data generation and use, and environmental technology design, development, and operatio
37、n. This Standard does not provide specifications or guidelines on environmental management systems, rather it may be used to support the quality aspects of environmental management systems and applications. Environmental management is outside the scope and intent of this standard and is addressed in
38、 IS0 14001:1996, Environmental Management Systems - Specification with Guidance for Use. This Standard may be used by organizations implementing an environmental management system to provide quality control and quality assurance support to the activities supporting the environmental management syste

41、SIIASQ E4-2004 Quality Systems for Environmental Data and Technology Programs - Requirements with Guidance for Use 1 SCOPE This American National Standard specifies requirements for a quality system to enable an organization to formulate policies and procedures to plan and implement sufficient and a
42、dequate quality management practices for environmental programs. This Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to a) implement, maintain, and improve a quality system for environmental programs; b) specify quality requirements when contracting for work; c) assure itself of its conformi
43、ty with its stated quality policy; and d) demonstrate such conformity to others. All the requirements in this Standard are intended to be incorporated into quality systems supporting environmental programs involving environmental data and environmental technology. The extent of the application will
44、depend on the environmental policy of the organization, the nature of its environmental programs, and the conditions under which it operates. 2 GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS 2.1 General Principles A quality system is the means by which an organization implements quality management in a systema
45、tic, organized manner. It is a management system in much the same manner as an organization manages its financial operations or health and safety programs. A Quality System encompasses a variety of technical and administrative elements, including policies and objectives, organizational authority, re
46、sponsibilities, accountability, and procedures and practices. The quality system is the “blueprint” or framework by which an organization applies sufficient quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) practices to ensure that the results of its environmental programs meet or exceed expectations.
47、 The quality system encompasses both management and technical activities pertaining to the planning, implementation, and assessment of environmental programs within the organizations mission and scope. The business plan model used for implementing a quality system based on this standard encompasses
48、three stages: planning, implementation, and assessment. This model is based on the concept of first planning the work, doing what was planned, and assessing the results against performance criteria, and acting on what was found by such a cornparicon. The level of detail and comprehensiveness of the quality system should be based on the principle of graded approach. The principle of graded approach recognizes that a “one size fits all” approach to quality requirements will not generally work in
