ISO 14000 compliance auditing
ISO 14001 specifies the need to conduct periodic environmental management system
audits. Basic level internal industrial environmental audits have several purposes,
such as to assure the investors through the board of directors of compliance status
and to assist manufacturing sites in their environmental efforts. The environmental
audit will cover: environmental labeling, environmental performance evaluation,
and manufacturing lifecycle assessments. Internal environmental audits are
generally carried out by the internal audit staff and follow the same structures as the
financial and operational audits, such as planning, scoping, gathering findings, and
recording issues and recommendations. You will notice that other aspects of the ISO
14000 compliance problem also fit into components of the Oracle solution, which we
have mentioned earlier, for example:
• Section 4.2.3 of ISO 14001 deals with objectives and targets as we have
reviewed in balanced scorecard
• Section 4.3.2 of ISO 14001 deals with training and education as we have
reviewed in iLearning
