11、750b8 Ob09589 5T3 PLUS 1139 O CSA 1 Introduction 1.1 The IS0 14000 Series The IS0 14000 series, developed on the basis of the IS0 9000 initiative, reflects the core principles of the IS0 9000 series. The IS0 14000 family is made up of voluntary standards that provide organizations with guidance on h

12、ow to manage the environmental aspects of their activities, products, and services more effectively. The series has been developed, and is continually reviewed, to support organizations in their efforts to control the environmental impacts of their activities, products, and services in a responsible

13、 fashion, and to demonstrate their adherence to environmental policies that satis social, legal, and regulatory demands. The IS0 14000 senes sets out the requirements for an environmental management system (EMS) that may be used by organizations of any size and type, operating in any industry, secto

14、r, or locale, as well as the requirements for registering and auditing such a system. 1.2 CSA Sustainable Forest Management Standards The CSA Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) System is based on the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM) criteria for sustainable forest management, and is the

15、product of both national and international initiatives towards forest management models that baiance economic, environmental, and social demands. Two voluntary Standards, CAN/CSA-Z808, A Sustainable Forest Management System: Guidance Document, and CANESA-ZSO9, A Sustainable Forest Management System:

16、 Specifications Document, reflect the consensus of a variety of stakeholders and interested parties. Together, the SFM Standards describe the design, implementation, and registration of forest management systems that, through a commitment to sustainability, reconcile a diverse range of environmental

17、, social, and economic values. The CSA Sustainable Forest Management System employs a management model consistent with, and to some extent derived from, the IS0 14000 series of environmental management standards. The same process of commitment, public participation, preparation, planning, implementa

18、tion, measuring and assessing performance, and review and improvement is intended to develop robust SFM systems that are capable of continual improvement. 1.3 The Integrated EMS/SFM Checklist This checklist is based on Clause 4 of IS0 1400 1 , Environmental management system - Specification with gui

19、dance for use, and on Clause 6 of CAN/CSA-Z809, A Sustainable Forest Management System: Specijkations Document. As the checklist illustrates, the requirements for an effective sustainable forest management system are easily coordinated with, and to some extent subordinated to, the more general requi

20、rements for environmental management. The series of questions may be used in a registration audit, in which qualified auditors review an organizations EMS and SFM performance, or as part of a “self-audit“ by an organizations representatives for sustainable forest management and environmental managem

21、ent. The checklist questions have been designed to identily every feature of the broader environmental management system that should be evaluated, and to incorporate in the same process the related and complementary features of a weil-structured sustainable forest management system. The checklist qu

22、estions are supplemented by definitions and interpretative comments excerpted fiom a number of CSA publications. Readers requiring further guidance on EMS andor SFM questions should consult the source documents, as well as related publications (see Appendix A). 6 March 1998 sTD.CSA PLUS 1139-98-ENGL

24、01 and CANCSA-Z809. The list is based on the structure and numbering of Clause 4 of IS0 14001; questions bearing on Clause 6 of CAN/CSA-Z809 have been incorporated, and the resulting sequences have been organized, for convenient reference, as lists of numbered “Q“ questions (“Q“ numbering is noted i

25、n the left-hand column). Some sequences of “Q“ questions extend over several pages. Open boxes indicate the continuation of the questions on the following page. The facing pages provide a variety of materials that are relevant to each page of questions, including a) a text box, where relevant, quoti

A sample of this page layout, showing how IS0

28、 14000 and CAN/CSA-Z809 materials are distinguished, appears on page 9. 2 Using the Integrated EMS/SFM Checklist 2.1 Preparing the Checklist The checklist in Section 4 is designed to be used by organizations of any size, involved in any variety of activities, products, and services that may require

29、the use of EMS and SFM systems. All of the EMS and SFM requirements set out in IS0 14001 and CAN/CSA-Z809 are expected to apply in every instance. An organization may also add supplementary questions, as required, to the checklist. For example, detailed questions concerning procedures, phases of pro

30、duction, or different organizational divisions may be necessary to ensure that EMS and SFM requirements and related documentation have been adequately covered. Additional questions may be written on a blank checklist sheet and inserted in the checklist, under the appropriate heading. (Appendix B sup

31、plies a sample checklist page that may be photocopied and used to add questions to your checklist.) 2.2 Completing the Checklist The evaluation process consists of assessing whether the requirements of IS0 14001 and CAN/CSA- 2809 have been satisfactorily met. Columns on the checklist pages allow the

32、 use of simple status codes to summarize their evaluations. However, it is also necessixy to provide notes on the objective evidence that was reviewed, both to support the overall evaluation and to ensure that the evaluation process has been full and complete.
