1.

Identification of the applicable legal requirements relating to the environment.

In addition to the establishment of a list of applicable legal requirements, the organisation shall also indicate how evidence that it is complying with the different requirements can be provided.

2.

Identification of all direct and indirect environmental aspects with a significant impact on the environment, qualified and quantified as appropriate and compiling a register of those identified as significant;

An organisation shall consider the following issues in assessing the significance of an environmental aspect:

(i)

potential to cause environmental harm;

(ii)

fragility of the local, regional or global environment;

(iii)

size, number, frequency and reversibility of the aspect or impact;

(iv)

existence and requirements of relevant environmental legislation;

(v)

importance to the stakeholders and employees of the organisation.

(a)

Direct environmental aspects

Direct environmental aspects are associated with activities, products and services of the organisation itself over which it has direct management control.

All organisations have to consider the direct aspects of their operations.

Direct environmental aspects relate to, but are not limited to:

(i)

legal requirements and permit limits;

(ii)

emissions to air;

(iii)

releases to water;

(iv)

production, recycling, reuse, transportation and disposal of solid and other wastes, particularly hazardous wastes;

(v)

use and contamination of land;

(vi)

use of natural resources and raw materials (including energy);

(vii)

use of additives and auxiliaries as well as semi-manufactured goods;

(viii)

local issues (noise, vibration, odour, dust, visual appearance, etc.);

(ix)

transport issues (both for goods and services);

(x)

risks of environmental accidents and impacts arising, or likely to arise, as consequences of incidents, accidents and potential emergency situations;

(xi)

effects on biodiversity.

(b)

Indirect environmental aspects

Indirect environmental aspects can result from the interaction of an organisation with third parties which can to a reasonable degree be influenced by the organisation seeking EMAS-registration.

For non-industrial organisations, such as local authorities or financial institutions, it is essential that they also consider the environmental aspects associated with their core business. An inventory limited to the environmental aspects of an organisation's site and facilities is insufficient.

These include, but are not limited to:

(i)

product life cycle related issues (design, development, packaging, transportation, use and waste recovery/disposal);

(ii)

capital investments, granting loans and insurance services;

(iii)

new markets;

(iv)

choice and composition of services (e.g. transport or the catering trade);

(v)

administrative and planning decisions;

(vi)

product range compositions;

(vii)

the environmental performance and practices of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.

Organisations must be able to demonstrate that the significant environmental aspects associated with their procurement procedures have been identified and that significant environmental impacts associated with these aspects are addressed within the management system. The organisation should endeavour to ensure that the suppliers and those acting on the organisation's behalf comply with the organisation's environmental policy within the remit of the activities carried out for the contract.

In the case of these indirect environmental aspects, an organisation shall consider how much influence it can have over these aspects, and what measures can be taken to reduce the environmental impact.

3.

Description of the criteria for assessing the significance of the environmental impact

An organisation shall define the criteria for assessing the significance of the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services, to determine which have a significant environmental impact.

The criteria developed by an organisation shall take into account Community legislation and shall be comprehensive, capable of independent checking, reproducible and made publicly available.

Considerations in establishing the criteria for assessing the significance of an organisation's environmental aspects may include, but are not limited to:

(a)

information about the condition of the environment to identify activities, products and services of the organisation that may have an environmental impact;

(b)

the organisation's existing data on material and energy inputs, discharges, wastes and emissions in terms of risk;

(c)

views of interested parties;

(d)

environmental activities of the organisation that are regulated;

(e)

procurement activities;

(f)

design, development, manufacturing, distribution, servicing, use, re-use, recycling and disposal of the organisation's products;

(g)

those activities of the organisation with the most significant environmental costs, and environmental benefits.

In assessing the significance of the environmental impacts of the organisation's activities the organisation shall think not only of normal operating conditions but also of start-up and shutdown conditions and of reasonably foreseeable emergency conditions. Account shall be taken of past, present and planned activities.

4.

Examination of all existing environmental management practices and procedures.

5.

Evaluation of feedback from the investigation of previous incidents.
