1. New ISO Standards Transition Workshop (Auditors)

2. What has changed?
new concepts are considered - more risk based thinking
a new common ISO format has been developed for use across all Management System Standards
a significant re-ordering of the key clauses.

3. What else? Strategic Environmental Management
increased emphasis on strategic planning
new requirement to understand the organisation’s context
aim to identify and leverage opportunities for the benefit of both the organisation and the environment
issues or changing circumstances related to the needs and expectations of interested parties and local, regional or global environmental conditions that can affect, or be affected by, the organisation
if identified as a priority, actions to mitigate adverse risk or exploit beneficial opportunities are integrated in the operational planning of EMS.
2015 – Annex A

4. And more……. Leadership Protecting the environment
a new clause that assigns specific responsibilities for those in leadership roles to promote environmental management
Protecting the environment
expectation on organisations has been expanded to commit to proactive initiatives to protect the environment from harm and degradation, consistent with the context of the organisation
‘protect the environment’ is not defined but it notes that it can include prevention of pollution, sustainable resource use, climate change mitigation and adaptation, protection of biodiversity and ecosystems, etc...
2015 – Annex A

5. And more………. Environmental performance Life-cycle thinking
emphasis with regard to continual improvement now improving environmental performance
Note - consistent with the organisation’s policy commitments
Life-cycle thinking
need to extend control and influence to the environmental impacts associated with product use and end-of-life treatment or disposal
Note - does not imply a requirement to do a life cycle assessment.
2015 – Annex A

6. And more! Communication Documentation
must develop communications strategy with equal emphasis on external and internal communication
requirement to communicate consistent and reliable information
establish mechanisms for persons working under the organisation's control to make suggestions on improving the EMS
Note - the organisation decides whether to communicate externally but it must consider regulatory requirements and expectations of interested parties
Documentation
term ‘documented information’ instead of ‘documents’ and ‘records’
flexibility to determine when ‘procedures’ are needed.
2015 – Annex A

7. High Level Structure
the new standard adopts the high-level structure and terminology of Annex SL (used for the development of all new ISO standards)
High Level Structure - identical core text and common terms and core definitions for use in all Management System Standards:
purpose - enhance the consistency and alignment of different management system standards
organisations that integrate multiple standards (eg QMS, EMS, OHS) will see the most benefit
uses simplified language and writing styles to aid understanding and consistent interpretations of requirements.
