Abstract

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed an Environmental Management
System (EMS) based on the ISO 14001 standard. The EMS procedures were developed to provide maximum
flexibility to the individual NASA Centers while meeting the requirements of ISO 14001 and Executive Order
13148. The EMS was tested at Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas,
and Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The pilot study was undertaken to better understand
implementation challenges, costs, resource requirements, and benefits. Implementation costs are presented by
site population and implementation phases. Potential benefits included increased involvement of management and
shop level personnel; reduced mission delays; improved procedures; reduction in single point
failures; identification of pollution prevention opportunities; improved compliance; and better
relationships with regulators and the public. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
