All requirements specified in this specification are of a general nature and applicable to every organization, independent of its type and size, its various geographic, cultural and social conditions and of the type of the products or services provided.

This is ensured by using ISO Guide 83 when structuring the specification. This specification can be used by internal and external parties, including accreditation bodies and accredited certification bodies in order to evaluate the ability of the organization - to meet their legal obligations and additional requirements and expectations of the interested parties as well as - requirements of the organization itself regarding occupational health management. The compatibility matrix in the annex of the specification compares the specification and ISO 9001:2008. The committee responsible for this standard is KoSMaS 130-01 AK "Betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement" ("Occupational health management") at DIN.
