Abstract: Summary The question is pursued whether it is possible from a juridical perspective to declare prescriptive management concepts as organizational responsibilities that are enforced by law so that it is no longer necessary to examine in each individual case whether a company has taken the appropriate measures to prevent potential dangers but only whether the appropriate prescriptive management concept has been implemented. A critical discussion of the rule systems ISO 9000, ISO 14000, and of a concept for the standardization of organizational governance systems from the perspective of organization theory shows that norms of this kind can by no means serve as a standard for the responsibilities which an organization has to adhere to either in civil, criminal or public law. In addition, in processes of certification or auditing it is impossible to evaluate the appropriateness of certain measures for the prevention of potential dangers or the degree of rule adherence so that a state withdrawal from the control of measures of this kind in favour of purely private agencies for certification and accreditation could result in fatal consequences.
