WHAT IS THE CHANGE
STRUCTURE
EMS standard is based on Annex SL – the new high-level structure (HLS) that brings a common framework to all ISO management systems. This helps to keep consistency, align different management system standards, offer matching sub-clauses against the top-level structure and apply common language across all standards.
PDCA MODEL
AUDITABLE CLAUSES
4- Context of Organization
5- Leadership
6- Planning
7- Support
8- Operation
9- Performance Evaluation
10- Improvement
DOCUMENTED INFORMATION
As part of the alignment with other management system standards a common clause on ‘Documented Information’ has been adopted. The terms “documented procedure” and “record” have both been replaced throughout the requirements text by “documented information”. Where ISO 14001:2004 would have referred to documented procedures (e.g. to define, control or support a process) this is now expressed as a requirement to maintain documented information.
