ISO 14001 audit week: tracing environmental evidence
Updated: 5 days ago
Updated 8 November 2026. A practical preparation guide for the week of assessment. This is suggested good practice, not an additional standard or scheme requirement.
Start with real activities
Organise your aspects and impacts review around the activities you actually carry out, including offices, vehicles, waste, energy and outsourced services. Make the reasons for significant-aspect decisions clear.
Connect controls to records
Bring together relevant compliance obligations, operational controls, emergency arrangements and monitoring results. Check that staff can explain their responsibilities and locate current records.
Check outstanding actions
Use internal audits and management review to track gaps and corrective actions. Agree the applicable edition and any transition arrangements with your certification body. Consultancy does not issue your certificate.
