RS ISO 14015: 2001
Environmental management systems — Environmental assessment of sites and organizations (EASO)

Abstract

This International Standard provides guidance on how to conduct an EASO through a systematic process of
identifying environmental aspects and environmental issues and determining, if appropriate, their business
consequences.
This International Standard covers the roles and responsibilities of the parties to the assessment (the client, the
assessor and the representative of the assessee), and the stages of the assessment process (planning,
information gathering and validation, evaluation and reporting). The process for conducting an EASO is shown in
Figure 1.
This International Standard does not provide guidance on how to conduct other types of environmental
assessment, such as:
a) initial environmental reviews;
b) environmental audits (including environmental management system and regulatory compliance audits);
c) environmental impact assessments; or
d) environmental performance evaluations.
Intrusive investigations and site remediation, as well as the decision to proceed with them, are outside the scope of
this International Standard.
This International Standard is not intended for use as a specification standard for certification or registration
purposes or for the establishment of environmental management system requirements.
Use of this International Standard does not imply that other standards and legislation are imposed on the client or
the assessee.
