The laboratory is an important service sector for providing scientific data. In a laboratory, the test results accuracy is an important thing, but apart from that in the operational process, the laboratory is also related to environmental aspects. The resources used and the waste produced need good management so that they can minimize the negative impacts on the environment. The focus of this study is a private environmental laboratory in Jakarta which has certified for the environmental management system (EMS) ISO 14001:2015.
