Sandblasting under ISO 14001

ISO 14001:2015 does not forbid any specific practice. ISO 14001:2015 require that organizations commit to comply with legislation or regulation applicable. So, if in your country there are no compliance obligations forbidding sand blasting you can use it. If during your initial environmental assessment, you conclude that sand blasting has significant environmental impacts, your organization should take actions to minimize or control those impacts.
