ISO 14000 Control of documents
Control of environmental management system documents is important to ensure
a) documents can be identified with the appropriate organization, division, function, activity or contact person,
b) documents (other than records) are regularly reviewed, revised as necessary and approved by authorized personnel prior to issue,
c) the current versions of relevant documents are available at all locations where operations essential to the effective functioning of the system are performed, and
d) obsolete documents are promptly removed from all points of issue and points of use. In some circumstances, for example, for legal and/or knowledge preservation purposes, obsolete documents can be retained.
Documents can be effectively controlled by
• Developing an appropriate document format that includes unique titles, numbers, dates, revisions, revision history and authority,
• Assigning the review and approval of documents to individuals with sufficient technical capability and organizational authority, and
• Maintaining an effective document distribution system.
