ISO 14001 Revision: what do the changes mean for business? A focus on Compliance Obligations
Colleen Theron, Director, CLTenvirolaw
November 2015
Some of our clients
Three key takeaways
1. Understand the difference between old and new standard in relation to legal aspects
2. Consider how you evaluate your compliance obligations
3. Make a note of 2 actions to take away with you
Key Legal Requirements – ISO14001• Identify and have access to compliance obligations• Understand when the needs of expected parties
become its compliance obligations• Establish systematic processes• Consider the risk associated with compliance
obligations• Establish operational controls• Publicly commit to upholding a legal requirement• Identify and fulfill relevant compliance obligations
Scope and scale of new requirements
• Extended scope and scale• On-going compliance required as part of key strategic
requirement of business• Not constrained to an annual compliance check• Impact on material supply chains, service and
product design
New Definition
• `Compliance Obligations’ • Replaces the phase ‘legal requirements and other
requirements’• Standards says that the INTENT of new phrase is not
different
What are compliance obligations?
• Arise from Mandatory requirements– Applicable laws, regulations, contractual
requirements• Other requirements
– Codes of practice – Trade association agreements – Industry standards
6. PlanningExisting Standard• 4.3.2. Legal and other requirements• The organisation shall establish, implement
and maintain a procedure (s)• To identify and have access to the applicable
legal requirements and other requirements to which the organisation subscribes related to its environmental aspects and
• To determine how these requirements apply to its environmental aspects
• The organisation shall ensure that these applicable legal requirements and other requirements to which the organisation subscribes are taken into account in establishing, implementing and maintaining its environmental management system.
New Standard• 6.1.3 Compliance Obligations• The organisation shall:• Determine and have access to the
compliance obligations related to its environmental aspects
• Determine how these compliance obligations apply to the organisation
• Take these compliance into account when establishing the EMS
• The organisation shall maintain documented information of its compliance obligations
Planning • Compliance obligations section directly linked to risk
associated with threats and opportunities in 6.1.4• Risk required to be determined with associated
threats and opportunities Give assurance that the EMS can achieve outcomes Prevent or reduce undesired effects Achieve continual improvement• Compliance obligations are also linked to
documented information in 7.5
Actions • Actions are required to address risks and compliance
obligations (6.2)• Actions must be integrated and implemented into
the EMS processes and the effectiveness of the actions evaluated (non conformities A10.2)
7.5 Documented Information • Definition (3.7)
– Information required to be controlled and maintained by an organisation (3.1) and the medium on which it is contained
• Necessary for the effectiveness of the EMS • Will vary in content and extent depending on organisation• Must be appropriate• Must be updated, reviewed and approved for suitability and adequacy• Must be available and protected and controlled• Necessary external documents must also be controlled in the system• E.g. Legal Registers, compliance audits, management plans to address
compliance obligations etc.
9. Performance Evaluation
• Compliance obligations need to be monitored and measured
• The methods for monitoring measurement analysis and evaluation must be specified to ensure valid results, including timing of such monitoring, measurement and evaluation
• The results must be documented
9.1.2 Evaluation of Compliance
Existing Standard• 4.5.2.Evaluation of compliance• 4.5.2.1. Consistent with its commitment to
compliance the organisation shall establish, implement and maintain a procedure (s) for periodically evaluating compliance with applicable legal requirements
• The organisation shall keep records of the results of the periodic evaluations
• 4.5.2.2. The organisation shall evaluate compliance with other requirements to which it subscribes
• The organisation may wish to combine this evaluation with the evaluation of legal compliance referred to in 4.5.2.1. Or to establish a separate procedure (s)
• The organisation shall keep records of the results of the periodic evaluations
New Standard
• 9.1.2 evaluation of Compliance• The organisation shall establish, implement and
maintain the process(es) needed to evaluate fulfillment of its compliance obligations
• The organisation shall:– Determine the frequency that compliance
will be evaluated– Evaluate compliance and take action if
needed• Maintain knowledge and understanding of its
status of conforming with compliance obligations • The organisation shall retain documented
information as evidence of the compliance evaluation results (s)
Demonstrating Environmental compliance
• Revised text requires; Evaluation of compliance at pre-determined
frequencies Take any necessary action to address non compliance Maintain knowledge and understanding of its
compliance status
9.2 Internal Audit • Internal audit
– Does the EMS conforms to the standard? – the CO’s own requirements – and is effectively implemented and maintained
• The audits take into account the risks associated with threats and opportunities as well as the results of previous audits (includes compliance audits)
• Audit programme and audit results to be retained as documented information and required to assist with management review
• Compliance issues are integrated into the entire management process
9.3 Management Review
• Consider changes in compliance obligations and risks associated with threats and opportunities
• Trends in fulfillment of compliance obligations• All to contribute towards continual improvement
(10.2) to enhance environmental performance • Consider what training they require
