DR 99363

Provides guidance on how to conduct environmental assessments of sites and organisations through a systematic process of identifying and evaluating environmental issues and determining their business consequences. It covers the roles and responsibilities of the parties to the assessment (the client, the assessor and the representative of the assessee), and the phases of the assessment process (planning, information gathering and validation, evaluation and reporting). It is not intended for use as a specification standard for certification or registration purposes or for the establishment of environmental management system requirements. This draft is identical with and is reproduced from ISO/CD 14015.2. Proposed as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard.
