Hi, At a recent ISO 14001 audit the Auditor raised a finding regarding the design process. The finding requires a format and identification at which stage of the design process the environmental Aspects and Impacts should be reviewed. Currently we maintain a central register to cover all Aspects and Impacts. The Auditor wants to see an Aspect review within the design process. Does anyone have any examples or template of how this is incorporated into the design process or any experience of similar audit finding.

Graruss, Design introduces new products and processes (environmental aspects) that may have or could have a significant impact (beneficial or adverse) on the environment. This fact makes your corporate EIA inaccurate or incomplete after each new design or design change. Already your designers, being competent, know what materials to use to improve beneficial impacts and to avoid to reduce adverse impacts. But you may need to update your design procedures to reconsider your EIA when design introduces new input materials and during design reviews. The design review records would show this was done. And, as part of the design plan, validation would not be complete until the EIA is re-run and updated to determine the need for any new competencies, controls or objectives in common with any change in the significant aspects.
It seems to me to be more about modifying your design process than introducing a new template to show an auditor. Better to update the EIA than to create a separate sub-EIA. Yes, we design and manufacture air and gas handling equipment. While we will design the most efficient product for the customer's requirements they do not always want best efficiency due to cost or preference of materials or ancillary equipment such as drive motors and pumps etc. Garuss, Then your product has mostly beneficial environmental impacts?
And you have evidence of your attempts to influence customers in making choices that are even better for the environment? Soal Tpa Pdf. BTW, ISO 14001 does not specify 'best efficiency' from your customers. Hi, At a recent ISO 14001 audit the Auditor raised a finding regarding the design process.

As I read it what the auditor is getting at are things like: could parts be made from re-used materials be used? Could a product used in the construction of the air conditioner be substituted by a more environmentally friendly product? Could parts of the air conditioner be reused when the conditioner is finally scrapped?
Could the design be changed to enable parts currently used for other items, also be used in the construction of the conditioner? While we are at it lets look at pre-empting a safety auditor making the same findings. Has it been designed in a way that ensures it can be installed safetly Has the way it is be to serviced been designed so it can be done safely? Are their anchor points built into to enable fall prevention equipment to be used to safe access and egress to and from the ground if might be installed at heights? Has it been designed for it to be dismantled safety when its finally de-commissioned? Has it been designed so the owner can install a new pump themselves instead of having to get a contactor in? Sorry, that takes money out of the pockets of the manufacturer or supplier does'nt it.
