a) Be realistic taking into consideration the constrains andresources of the company as well as the extent ofimpacts that the organization has on the environment.

While discussing impact, the document should embody,

* life cycle analysis

* resource conservation

* waste reduction* product design

&

The concept of sustainable development should be the part

of the document.

Planning of EMS for audit requires that the systemshould be in the form of written plan or manual

giving details of work and procedures.

The plan include environmental aspects and impact,and its an important function of an organization in

the sense that it takes into consideration a properschedule, resources, targets, successes as well aslikely failures, contingencies and alternatives tomigrate the crisis if it occurs.

For eg, when the work involves handling ofhazardous materials or any other procedureinvolving safety measures, it has to be carefully

written as a plan document.

EMS demands a mechanism for measuring andevaluation for which a process has to be evolved thatinvolves testing and verification.

Such a process must be an ongoing process toidentify environmental performance indicators thatare verifiable.

Also, for regular monitoring, the companies mustestablish a system and procedure for determiningcompliance and conformance with law and rules andregulations.

For conformance to all above regulations, a periodicaudit of EMS should be conducted either by internalor external auditors who are trained and qualified forthejob.

At Review stage, the organisation has to think in terms ofcontinual improvements of environmental performance.

Review is very important because it undertakes an in-

depth analysis of all the issues of environmental concern. Reviews must go beyond the stage of compliance. It must

pay full attention to implementation of objectives set outby the organisation.

Issues to be discussed in the process of reviews are:

i. Sustainability of environmental policy.

ii. Recommendations of audit report.iii. New regulations.

iv. Interest of stakeholders.

v. Public awareness and pressures.

The ISO 14020 family covers three types oflabeling schemes:

i.

Type I is a multi-attribute label developed bya third party;

ii. Type II is a single-attribute label developed bythe producer;

iii. Type III is an eco-label whose awarding isbased on a full life-cycle assessment.
