Introduction:<\/h2>\n

This template<\/a> is designed to be used to perform a self-audit in accordance with requirements of ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management systems (EMS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Requirements are presented in the form of tasks with form fields to record various information about the status of each of the 10 high level clauses as outlined in the Annex SL<\/a> standard for management systems:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Scope<\/li>\n
  2. Normative references<\/li>\n
  3. Terms and definitions<\/li>\n
  4. Context of the organisation<\/li>\n
  5. Leadership<\/li>\n
  6. Planning<\/li>\n
  7. Support<\/li>\n
  8. Operation<\/li>\n
  9. Performance evaluation<\/li>\n
  10. Improvement<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    These clauses are then further broken down into the Plan, Do, Check, or Act segments of the PDCA cycle<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    This checklist can be used as an effective tool for implementing the environmental management system and for self-assessment of the system.<\/p>\n

    Self-auditing can help to define a high-level overview of an organization's performance, and determine the effectiveness (or not) of its various management systems.<\/p>\n

    What's more, it can help to identify problem areas and successfully apply principles of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n

    Self-auditing is best used as a tool to discover the potential opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement<\/strong>; it is not a replacement for a 3rd party CB (Certified Body) audit and will not necessarily result in an ISO certification.<\/p>\n

    This checklist was designed to factor in repeat audits, so that continuous improvement principles could be applied over the course of multiple audits, with each successive audit contributing to the inputs of the next.<\/p>\n

    The framework outlined in this checklist can be used as is, or <\/span>edited<\/a> <\/span>and customized to suit your specific needs.<\/p>\n
