Greetings!
Per 4.3.1 - (which refers to 4.1 - General Requirements/Scope The org. shall define and document the scope of its environmental management system)
The org. shall establish, implement and maintain a procedure(s)
a) to identify the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services within the defined scope of the environmental management system that it can control and those that it can influence taking into account planned or new developments, or new or modified activities, products and services, and
which also ties to 4.2 Environmental policy
Top management shall define the org's enviro policy and ensure that, within the defined scope of it's environmental management system, it:
a) is appropriate to the nature, scale and environmental impacts of its activities, products and services,
Taking into account that all of these requirements are tied together by scope -
Is it possible to limit a scope to include ONLY the facilities and not the product and services that are made/offered by the organization?
Is it possible to define the scope to a facility based EMS system and not include the products or services that the facility produces?
"Facilities" refers to building and grounds and internal spaces and excludes end product.
This should be interesting as the 14001 document does say: Organization shall define and document the scope.
Thank you for your insight!
