PAS 99 : 2012
Integrated Management System
What is PAS99?
PAS 99:2012 is a Publicly Available Specification for integrating common management systems.
These systems are all designed to improve the way businesses are run and many now have a similar structure.

Use this specification to integrate management systems, run operations effectively and meet all regulatory requirements.
How does it work?

You can also use the specification to meet internal and external audit requirements. PAS 99:2012 gives guidance on planning, implementing and operating an integrated management framework, as well as monitoring and improving performance.
