Course description

This practitioner course demonstrates how to integrate ecodesign into an existing Environmental Management System (EMS) using ISO 14006:2020 as a practical guide. We connect product/service design with EMS planning and controls, using PDCA to translate life-cycle “hot spots” into clear design inputs, criteria, and targets. You’ll learn to scope life-cycle stages, screen impacts, and write ecodesign requirements that balance functionality, cost, safety, and environment. We cover design-for strategies (reduction, substitution, durability, repair, disassembly, recycling), packaging optimization, and supplier collaboration through procurement specifications. You’ll practice setting measurable KPIs, evaluating trade-offs with multi-criteria tools, verifying claims, and capturing evidence for audits and management review. The course includes templates for design briefs, gate reviews, and tracking improvements, plus Canadian/BC notes on product stewardship, environmental claims, and reporting. Suitable for standalone ecodesign initiatives or integration with ISO 14001 and broader IMS.

What you’ll learn

Translate ISO 14006 guidance into a practical ecodesign workflow
Map life-cycle stages; perform screening LCA and hot-spot analysis
Define ecodesign requirements and KPIs in design inputs
Apply design-for reduction, durability, reuse, disassembly, recycling
Collaborate with suppliers via green procurement specifications
Evaluate trade-offs using structured, multi-criteria methods
Plan credible environmental claims and verification evidence
Integrate ecodesign with project gates, audits, and management review

Who should attend

Environmental/ESG managers and coordinators
Product, packaging, and R&D design engineers
Procurement and supply chain professionals
Quality/IMS managers integrating multiple ISO systems
Marketing/compliance teams responsible for environmental claims

This course provides a practical understanding of ISO 29001:2020, the sector-specific Quality Management System standard for organizations in petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas supply chains. Participants learn how to establish and maintain processes that reduce operational risks, strengthen supply-chain performance, and ensure product and service conformity in high-risk environments. The course addresses process-based thinking, defect prevention, variability reduction, and critical quality controls required for equipment, materials, and services used in oil and gas operations. Trainees will gain the ability to align ISO 29001 requirements with ISO 9001 principles to enhance regulatory compliance, reliability, safety, and long-term operational excellence.

What you’ll learn

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

Understand the structure and intent of ISO 29001 and its relationship to ISO 9001.

Define the scope of the QMS based on sector-specific risks and compliance needs.

Interpret and apply requirements from clauses 4 to 10 of ISO 29001.

Implement controls for defect prevention, nonconformity management, and risk mitigation.

Develop quality objectives, KPIs, and performance tracking tools relevant to oil & gas.

Integrate design, development, production, and service controls.

Manage documented information, supplier evaluation, and customer satisfaction.

Establish internal audit, management review, and corrective action processes.

Prepare a phased implementation plan leading to ISO 29001 certification.

Align your QMS with industry-specific regulatory and customer requirements.
