British Standard BS8555

Soniclean is currently working towards BS8555 in partnership with Nottingham Trent University.

The British Standard BS8555 (full title: Guide to the phased implementation of an environmental management system including the use of environmental performance evaluation) published in April 2003 encompasses the six phase achievement criteria utilized in the IEMA Acorn Scheme.

The standard links Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001) and Environmental Performance Evaluation (ISO 14031), provides for focused training, auditing and implementation at each level and supports relationships between suppliers and customers.

BS8555 describes how to implement a generic EMS and can be used as a route towards ISO14001 and EMAS. The standard’s inclusion of ISO 14031 allows the development of tasks focussing on indicators that add value and are driven by company needs

The Contractors Health And Safety Assessment Scheme

Soniclean is a CHAS Accredited Contractor.

The CHAS health and safety assessment scheme is a pre-approval scheme to allow contractors to show potential clients that they meet the required health and safety standards.

The main purpose of CHAS is to avoid repeated applications by suppliers and contractors to become approved as local authority suppliers and to improve health and safety in small to medium sized businesses. Whilst the CHAS assessment scheme is a local authority and government backed scheme, it can be used by any organisation looking to short list suppliers and contractors and can save time and money for all parties.
