ISO 14000 Control of records
ISO 14000 Control of records
Records provide evidence of the ongoing operation and results of the environmental management system. A
key characteristic of records is that they are permanent and are, typically, not revised. An organization should determine which records are required to manage its environmental matters effectively. Records should include
a) information on compliance with applicable legal requirements and other requirements to which the organization subscribes,
b) details of non-conformities and corrective and preventive actions,
c) results of environmental management system audits and management reviews,
d) information on environmental attributes of products (e.g. chemical composition and properties),
e) evidence of fulfilment of objectives/targets,
f) information on participation in training,
g) permits, licences or other forms of legal authorization,
h) results of inspection and calibration activity, and
i) results of operational controls (maintenance, design, manufacture).
The effective control of these records is essential to the successful implementation of an environmental management system. The key features of environmental record control include means of identification, collection, indexing, filing, storage, maintenance, retrieval and retention.
