I got two direct answers, but the list has had a lot of technical
problems recently, so I have not checked if they were send to the
list, too. As an afterthought, I think they did not, so here they
are:
Hello Peter - ISO 14,000 is the environmental management
standard. I'm trying to find out what type of involvement with it
is possible for me as a technical communicator. If you search
the Web, there are lots of sites that tell more about the
standards - many of them commercial from organizations doing
consulting on them. One of the most helpful I found is at URL http://www.iso14000.com/index.html.

don't know much about it except that it seems to cost a LOT to
comply. The estimates I've seen here in Australia run from
A$50,000 to A$200,000...........
A third answer appeared on the list at 8 August from Bob Morrisette
<Robert -dot- Morrisette -at- EBAY -dot- SUN -dot- COM>, giving the same basic information
as Nathalie K Griffith.
I am happy about the answers which helped me on the way and wish
hereby publicly to thank those who responded.
