Benefits
international standards help
level the playing field
reduce duplicity, conflicting
requirements of different
markets
satisfy stakeholder interests
lower insurance rates-due
diligence
internal benefits - reduce costs
pollution prevention, not endof-pipe
Concerns
increased costs
create trade barriers
does not ensure better
environmental performance
registration issues
inconsistent interpretation of
standards
