ISO 14001:2015 Internal Auditor Training

1. INTRODUCTION
   

   As stipulated in Clause 9.2 of ISO 14001:2015, internal environmental audits must be carried out periodically, based on the status and importance of the system, to ensure that the implemented Environmental Management System (EMS) is effective and complies with applicable obligations.

   Internal Environmental Auditors appointed to perform this task must be trained and competent to ensure that audits are conducted systematically and objectively. In the latest version of ISO 14001:2015, a process risk– and performance-based approach is strongly emphasized in designing the business processes of the EMS, and a similar concept is expected to be applied to internal environmental auditing.

   This course is designed to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and methodology to meet these requirements, particularly in applying process risk– and performance-based auditing, as required by most certification body auditors.
