The ISO standards control and management systems for enterprises, QMS and EMS, are both document-driven. A quality management system or QMS is also referred to as ISO 9001:2015. Environmental Management System or EMS for short, is also known as ISO 14001:2015.

The fact that both systems are standards-based and have a similar objective makes them similar in some ways. Both are governed by the International Standards Organization and employ comparable documentation practices. Both call for thorough record-keeping. Along with ongoing training, they also call for regular review.
