ISO 14001:2015 Changes and challenges Dick Hortensius NEN Management Systems 31 March & 1 April 2016
Overview of presentation Background of the revision: The High Level Structure for ISO MSS and the plug-in model for integration The major changes in ISO 14001:2015 Related to the introduction of the HLS Related to the recommendations of the Future Challenges study group
ISO 9001:2008 Quality management ISO 14001:2004 Environmental management BSI PAS 55 Asset management OHSAS 18001 OHS management ISO 27001 Information security ISO 22000 Food safety ISO 50001 energy management BS 25999 Business Continuity ISO 30301 Records management ISO 28000 Supply chain security
New approach: two advisory groups SAG MSS: strategic advisory group, users of MSS, future of management system standards JTCG: practical coordination, representatives of ISO/TC/PC/SC, alignment of management system standards
Shortcomings of ISO MS(S) according to the SAG MSS Architecture of the standards: Lack of a common model/framework Too many separate standards, no incentives to integrate Implementation Little integrated application of MSS Insufficient links to business risks Relationship with corporate governance Not embedded in the governance of organizations No integral risk management

Importance HLS/plug-in model Companies: ISO management systems become part of the corporate governance Integration and expansion of systems becomes easier Assists in dealing with current and future societal challenges Stakeholders: Interests (issues and requirements) are taken into account in managing the organization
Importance HLS/plug-in model For certification: Makes combined audits and modular approach to certificates easier Better focus on assessing new modules? Easier (ex)change of CB s? For governmental supervision/inspection: Risk management and compliance management are an integral part of (certified) management systems

ISO 14001:2015 Most important changes(i) New structure (HLS based) Context analysis: internal and external issues, stakeholders, needs and expectations, determination of compliance obligations Commitment, involvement and responsibilities of top management is more explicit. Value chain management (life cycle perspective) is more explicit throughout the standard
ISO 14001:2015 Most important changes(ii) Inclusion of the concept risks and opportunities Application of (key performance) indicators to monitor achievement of environmental objectives. More emphasis on external communication and the quality of environmental information Changes in requirements related to documentation The mechanism of (continual) improvement is more explicitly related to improvement of environmental performance
