The requirements for monitor<strong>in</strong>g and measurement are similar <strong>in</strong> ISO 14001 and<br />
<strong>DIN</strong> <strong>EN</strong> <strong>16001</strong>. In order to meet the requirements of <strong>DIN</strong> <strong>EN</strong> <strong>16001</strong>, you should<br />
additionally consider the follow<strong>in</strong>g aspects:<br />
•<br />
Ensure that the review also <strong>in</strong>cludes the monitor<strong>in</strong>g of energy consumption.<br />
• Ensure that the measurement equipment can also measure the specific energy<br />
consumption.<br />
• Compare and assess the expected vs. actual energy consumption <strong>in</strong> fixed time<br />
periods.<br />
• Compare your energy <strong>in</strong>dicators with those of similar companies.<br />
EMAS requirements are <strong>in</strong> accordance with ISO 14001.<br />
2. Monitor and assess compliancy with legal obligations<br />
You should regularly assess to what extent the legal<br />
obligations of the company described <strong>in</strong> chapter 6A<br />
have been complied with. A written review is required<br />
here. You can use the review to keep your legal<br />
register up-to-date.<br />
With regard to monitor<strong>in</strong>g and review<strong>in</strong>g the compliance of legal obligations, no<br />
additional measures need to be taken <strong>in</strong> the current ISO 14001. In ISO 14001, the<br />
obligations are expla<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> greater detail than <strong>in</strong> <strong>DIN</strong> <strong>EN</strong> <strong>16001</strong>.<br />
For companies with EMAS, the same requirements apply as those for ISO 14001. However,<br />
their legal compliance has, unlike with<strong>in</strong> ISO 14001 certification requirements,<br />
been cross-checked by the responsible authorities, and can be proven by appropriate<br />
documentation (known as a clearance certificate of an environmental verifier).
