published on Sept 2015.
• Some changes are:
• From 5 pages to 11 pages
• Elements (clauses) from 18 to 32
• Structure same as ISO 9001 & other
Management System Standards (MSS)
incorporating High Level Structure
format

8 Big Changes (1 of 3)
1) 4.1- Understanding the Organization and its context - by
determining – A) External circumstances – political,
regulatory, international, national, etc. B) Internal
characteristics (i.e., strategic direction, culture, capabilities)
C) Environmental conditions – that could affect the
organization (climate, natural resource availability, etc.)
2) 4.2 - Understanding the Needs of Interested Parties.
Who are the interested parties relevant to the EMS, What are
their needs and expectations
3) 5.1 - Leadership and Commitment. Top Management
must demonstrate its commitment to the EMS for a list of
items, none of which are required to be documented or
recorded (but it may help)
11. 11
8 Big Changes (2 of 3)
4) 6.1.1 - Actions to address Risks and Opportunities –
Must be “determined” on issues surrounding “context” as
per 4.1 and “interested parties” as per 4.2, as well as for
aspects and legal requirements
5) 6.1.2 - Environmental Aspects of Products –
Considering life-cycle perspective. (i.e., environmental
issues associate with design, use, end of life and disposal
6) 8.1 - Operational Controls - for product design and
development for life cycle stages AND provide information
about potential significant impacts on product delivery, use,
end-of-life and disposal AND Environmental requirements
for purchasing
12. 12
8 Big Changes (3 of 3)
7) 10.2 - No Preventive Actions formally required (it’s all
corrective action)
8) 7.5 - No mention of the word records (it’s all
documented information)
13. 13
4.1 Understanding the organization
and its context (1 of 4)
• Determine the internal and external issues relevant to
the EMS.
• Include environmental conditions being affected or
capable of affecting the organization
THIS IS
- A HIGH LEVEL UNDERSTANDING
- INCLUDE IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL TOPICs
- INCLUDE CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES
14. 14
4.1 Understanding the organization
and its context (2 of 4)
Understanding Aspects & Impacts is “extremely one
dimensional” when compared to Understanding the Context
if the organization*.
Understanding … includes the organization’s
- direct and indirect environmental consequences
- legal requirements
- effects on your stakeholders by the EMS
* John Nolan (google search)
15. 15
4.1 Understanding the organization
and its context (3 of 4)
Examples include:
Env. Conditions – Climate, Air & Water Quality, Land
Use, existing contamination, natural resource
availability, biodiversity, etc.
External cultural, social, political, legal, regulatory,
financial, technological, economic, natural and
competitive circumstances, whether international,
national, regional, or local
Internal characteristics or conditions of the organization
such as activities, products and services, strategic
direction, culture and capabilities (i.e. people,
knowledge, processes and systems
16. 16
4.1 What does it look like ? (4 of 4)
Document the context in the EMS manual – or document
meeting minutes where these issues are discussed (i.e.
Management Review, etc.)
17. 17
4.2 Understanding the needs and
expectations of interested parties
• This appears to be a duplicate requirement for listing
compliance obligations (i.e. interested parties =
regulatory agencies)
• Interested parties could be sponsors of voluntary
requirements (contractual, trade associations, etc.)
• Corporate Management
• Community Members
• Others
18. 18
4.3 Determining the Scope of the EMS
• Similar to the 2004 standard (4.1 General
Requirements)
• Consider
• External and internal issues (as per 4.1)
• Compliance obligations (as per 4.2)
• Organizational units, functions and physical
boundaries
• Activities, products and services
• Control and Influence
How many times will we reference 4.1 and 4.2 in this
standard ?
19. 19
4.4 Environmental Management System
A general, overall requirement stating the org. must :
• - establish, implement maintain and continually improve
an EMS that meets ISO 14001
• - consider the knowledge gained in
• 4.1 - Understanding the organization and its
context
• 4.2 – Understanding the needs and expectations of
interested parties
References 4.1 and 4.2 - #2

38. 38
Documented Information - Records
- The term “Records” is not used in 2015 standard
- However, the org. must still present “evidence” to
show they have
• Determined ….
• Identified
• Developed Plans (more of a “procedure”)
44. 44
8.1 - Operational Planning & Control
Establish processes needed
to meet the EMS, 6.1 and
6.2 by:
1) establishing criteria for
processes, and
2) implementing control of
processes to meet criteria.
i.e.,
• Haz Waste Storage
• Boiler Operation
• Paint Booth Maintenance
• Storm Water Sampling
• Air Permit
• Etc.
45. 45
8.1 - Operational Planning & Control
New Pieces of the puzzle for 8.1:
- Control planned changes, consequences of
unintended changes and mitigate the environmental
impacts (MOC also is in 6.1.2)
- ensure outsourced processes are controlled or
influenced (as stated in the EMS)
- Address Life Cycle (LC) perspective by
• establishing env. controls in the design and
development process for each LC stage
• Env. Requirements for procurement
• Communicating env. requirements to contractors
• Consider providing info on env. impacts of the
different life cycle stages of product
46. 46
8.2 Emergency Preparedness
Re: potential emergencies
identified in 6.1.1
•Develop emergency
preparedness & response
plans
• Include plans for
mitigating “environmental
impacts”

• Determine opportunities for improvement (see
also 6.1.1; 9.3
• Implement necessary actions to achieve
“intended EMS outcomes”
10.3 – Continual Improvement
• Continually improve the suitability, adequacy and
effectiveness of the EMS to enhance
environmental performance
58. Auditing Tips
58
• Good Auditors Take Time To develop
• Audit Experience more important than
training class
• Develop Your Audit Program For Your
Needs (Use Specific Questions)
• Don’t Waste Resources on Duplicating
other inspections or audits
• Audit Management for “ISO “ – Audit Non-
Management for “their” requirements
• Reward Auditors for their Efforts
59. Thea Dunmire’s 6 Potential Pitfalls to ISO
59
1) There is legal liability that could be uncovered
by ISO 14001.
2) 14001 designates Top Management as
responsible. This could connect TM to potential
legal issues.
3) Treat audit findings and related confidentially
especially with external auditors, registrars, etc.
4) Correct identified problems or there maybe
potential – “willful violations.”
5) Written procedures can over-complicate EMS
and create additional legal obligations.
6) Realize that records can implicate. “Get a
handle” on all records “floating around”.www.enlar.com
