As per revised
ISO-14001:2015
Changes , Challenges & Road Map for Migration
 Implementation of EMS at BSP
• Currently EMS has been implemented in 37
shops, Township & Dalli Mechanized Mines as
per ISO:14001:2004 version.
• Revised EMS:14001:2015 was published in
September, 2015.
• All the Organizations certified under 2004
version need to migrate to revised version by

 What is new in EMS:2015 version

• ISO 14001:2015 is be based on high level

structure (HLS) that brings a common
framework to all management systems
– This helps to keep consistency, align different
management system standards, offer matching sub-
clauses against the top-level structure and apply
common language across all standards.

 Challenges

• The revised ISO 14001 standard incorporates

numerous new themes, many of which are
related to sustainability.
– Identification & Linkage of “Internal/external,
Interested party” issues with EMS in defining the
context/scope of the organization
– Identification & Linkage of “Risk Management &
LCA” elements with EMS.
– Linkage of “Outsourced activities” with EMS
