Abstract

• This article analyses the 
implementation of the Spanish 
National Standard UNE 150301 
launched by AENOR in 2003. 
After studying the framework 
of this standard, its objectives 
and potential impact, for the 
fi rst time the actual process of 
its implementation is examined 
using three Spanish industrial 
companies as case studies, all 
of which are pioneers in the 
adoption of this environmental 
standard.
