    Mandatory Documents and Records

    ISO 14001:2015

    It is easy to assume that every single process that is in place to support your
    environmental management system needs to be documented, but that is not the
    case if the objective is only to meet the requirements of ISO 14001.
    The standard refers to multiple mandatory processes, but these are not necessarily
    required to be documented procedures.
    Also identified are many records that need to be maintained, which should be
    generated by the processes that make up your environmental management system.
    Mandatory Documents ISO 14001:2015
    Clause
    Scope of the Environmental Management System 4.3
    Environmental Policy 5.2
    Procedure for Identification and Evaluation of Environmental 6.1.2
    Aspects (including criteria for determining the significance)
    Environmental Objectives and plans for achieving them 6.2.1
    Operational Control Procedures 8.1
    Procedure for Emergency Preparedness and Response 8.2

    Mandatory Records ISO 14001:2015


    Clause
    Risks and opportunities that need to be addressed 6.1.1
    Compliance obligations record 7.2
    Competence records 7.2
    Evidence of Communication 7.4
    Monitoring Performance Information 9.1.1
    Calibration Records for Monitoring & Measurement Equipment 9.1.1
    Internal Audit Program and Results 9.2.2
    Management Review Results 9.3
    Nonconformities and Corrective Action 10.2
    These are the documents and records that are required to be maintained for the ISO
    14001 environmental management system.
    However, you should also maintain any other records that you have identified as
    necessary to ensure your management system can function, be maintained, and
    improve over time.

    Additional Documentation:
    However, all ‘real world’ systems require more than these minimum mandatory
    requirements to ensure a robust and reliable system. There are several additional
    documented procedures which are commonly employed to ensure a robust and
    reliable system, including:
    Mandatory Documents and Records
    ISO 14001:2015
     Procedure for Determining the Environmental Context of the Organisation;
    4.1, 4.2
     Procedure for Competence, Training and Awareness; 7.2, 7.3
     Procedure for Control of Documents and Records ; 7.5
     Procedure for Monitoring & Measurement; 4.5.1
     Procedure for Compliance Obligations; 9.1.2
     Procedure for Internal Audit; 9.2
     Procedure for Nonconformity and Corrective Action; 10.2
    To determine what additional documentation you require, it is often enough just to
    ask yourself the question; do we need a documented procedure to ensure
    consistency between employees?
    A good maxim to follow is that simple, clear, documentation is more effective than
    complicated documentation in ensuring that all employees can deliver repeatable
    outcomes. And don’t forget, procedures can be written, in the form of a flowchart,
    use pictures etc. – choose the most effective!
