Great video and I agree with the fact that documented information should be used is evidence of conformity. I'm liking the seven themes as they underpin and boost the current standard. What was a bit of a bolt on was the 2024 amendment but pretty easy to address with Clients. What does need to be clear is the competency required for the new standard. CBs jump on pumping out expensive training, although for the 2015 version I didn't take up any since as soon as the DIS came out, I started migrating Clients towards the probably new standard. I had a competency interview with UKAS for a CB's approval to deliver ISO 14001 as their lead auditor and UKAS accepted my detailed CPD records in which I documented my learning activities to make me able to deliver the "new" standard. What makes me smile is they always have their meeting somewhere nice. It's never at a business park off the M62.
Glad the video hit the right spot - It would be good for more ISO 14001 users to catch-up on the new changes, which this time around are more evolutionary rather than revolutionary. I agree that competency is key. For full transparency, I was an UKAS Assessment Manager for nearly ten years and continue to work with Accreditation Bodies. ISO/IEC 17021-2 on competency for EMS Auditors and other CB personnel was my baby as an ISO Co-Convenor. More to come on the second amendment to ISO 14001:2015…
@@EMSmastery Totally agree, with Annex SL, 2015 was the revolution so the next version can evolve from it. Working for a small CB I must be the UK's most witnessed auditor with 3 in 18 months a few years ago! Keeps me on my toes and actually underpins my confidence.
