Purpose of this document This document should be used to assess the level of conformity of an organization against the ISO14001 standard. It may be used by a consultant on behalf of a client or by an organization directly.
Areas of the standard addressed All areas of the ISO14001 standard are covered.
General guidance This tool allows you to perform a gap assessment against the ISO14001 standard. The questions asked are based on the contents of the relevant standard and are designed to give a reasonable assessment of the degree to which the relevant requirements are met. In all cases a "Yes" answer is taken as a positive indication. The results are summarised in a series of tables and in a selection of charts. If you would prefer to assess your conformity directly against the requirements of the standard, CertiKit also offers as a separate chargeable product, the CertiKit ISO14001 Enhanced Gap Assessment Tool which lists the exact requirements from the standard, line by line. Because this second option contains the full text from the standard, it is subject to a licensing agreement that CertiKit maintains with the ISO via BSI. The Enhanced Gap Assessment Tool is available for purchase from our website.
Review frequency It is a good idea to revisit this assessment on a regular basis throughout your project to obtain an indication of progress and as a final check prior to an external audit.
