This procedure subjects to monitor and measure the conformance with legal and other requirements and also examine activities relating to environment by monitoring and measuring specific ones.
2. SCOPE:
• This procedure applies to the monitoring and measurement of the environmental conformance as well as the examination of activities significantly relating to environment.
• The tools used in measuring are maintained as specified in their own maintenance procedures.
• This procedure also applies to people relating to the process of monitoring and measurement.
3. RESPONSIBILITIES:
• The environmental project division (or EPD) is responsible for organizing the process of monitoring and measurement.
• The board representative is responsible for:
- Executing and supervising the project of monitoring and measurement.
- Monitoring and measurement tasks assigned in the project.
- The head of each unit is responsible for making and retaining the records on monitoring and measurement assigned in the project.
- This manager is also responsible for managing measurement devices.
4. PROCEDURE CONTENT:
4.1. Make the plan of monitoring and measurement
• The objective of this plan is to assure that:

• If there is any nonconformity, solving method will be applied as specified in the procedures for nonconformity and corrective action.
4.3. Measuring the conformance with legal and other requirements:
• The plan will identify the measurement frequency, people in charge and other information related to the measurement of the conformance with legal and other requirements.
• Based on the measurement result, evaluate the conformance with legal and other requirements….
• If there is any nonconformity, solving method will be applied as specified in the procedures for nonconformity solving and corrective action.
4.4. Measurement devices:
Use as specified in the procedure for measurement device management.
4.5. Record on monitoring and measurement:
The results of monitoring and measurement process will used in the procedure for document maintenance.
5. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS/ FORMS USED
• Instruction of effluent management.
• Procedure for correcting and maintaining measurement devices.
• Procedure for identifying legal and other requirements.
• Environment measurement plan (PME)
6. RECORDS:
• The result of environment measurement.
