ISO 14001 certification in Pretoria (Tshwane) at a glance
Large automotive sites make environmental questions concrete: where does the solvent go, how is scrap metal handled, what happens in a spill. The Tshwane Automotive SEZ in Silverton, over 200 hectares, states that it assists investors with environmental impact work where applicable, and the Rosslyn Automotive Supplier Park hosts the component makers whose processes feed vehicle assembly. ISO 14001 helps a plant answer such questions systematically. It requires you to identify environmental aspects and impacts, keep track of compliance obligations, set objectives, control operations, prepare for emergencies, audit and review. Sterling builds the system with your production and maintenance teams and prepares you for an accredited certification body. Served from Sterling's Johannesburg office.

ISO 14001 in Pretoria (Tshwane): questions clients ask
Why do Pretoria automotive suppliers pursue ISO 14001?
Vehicle makers assess the environmental performance of their supply chains, and a certified system answers many of their questions together. Silverton and Rosslyn tenants handle paints, metals, coolants and packaging. The customer's supplier manual states what it expects, since the zone operators do not set a certificate rule themselves.
Does ISO 14001 cover legal permits for an SEZ tenant?
No. It requires you to know the permits and rules that apply and to show you are meeting them, but it does not grant or replace any authorisation. The zone offers environmental impact assistance to investors, so speak to the operator early. Confirm specific authorisation requirements with the competent authority.
