During an ISO 14001 certification audit of the site, the auditor comes across an open, walled area just outside the maintenance department. It contains various scraps of wood and metal as well as several rusty components. They are lying on an oily floor. When asked about it, the EMS Manager states that he presumes that the materials come from maintenance work. The auditor interviews the Maintenance Manager in his department. He notes that shelves containing various spares are well labelled and neatly stacked. He asked about the "dump" outside and is told that it contains some excess materials that the Manager likes to keep in case they come in handy at some stage. The auditor points out that the "dump" might be classed under regulations as a landfill site, which requires an operating licence. The Maintenance Manager is not aware of such a licence. Which three statements represent good audit practice? The auditor should check whether the organisation has permission to operate a landfill site. The auditor should ask the Maintenance Manager to clean up the "dump". The auditor should advise the organisation to get rid of all the "dumps". The auditor should check the information given by the Maintenance Manager with the EMS Manager. The auditor should refer the organisation to the relevant authorities. The auditor should consider surveying more areas of the site for other "dumps". The auditor should raise a nonconformity against ISO 14001. The auditor should congratulate the Maintenance Manager on having a neat and tidy spares store.

The EMS Manager confirmed no action had been taken, but added he expected a number of objectives to be achieved in the next three months so there was no need for further action. He explained in confidence that the organisation was fighting a takeover bid and resources for environmental projects had been cut. From the information, select three non-conformities options that the auditor could raise to ISO 14001. 6.2.1 - New environmental objectives associated with the takeover should be set 9.2.2 - Report IA202 contained a nonconformity (NC3) lacking in necessary detail 6.2.2 - Actions were not taken to fully implement the environmental objectives set by management 7.4.3 - Management should communicate the impacts of the takeover on the EMS to the bidders 7.1 - The top management failed to provide the resources needed to meet the objectives 10.2.a - Management failed to take corrective action to deal with the audit nonconformity 9.3 - A management review should be undertaken to determine the implications of the takeover on the EMS 7.4.2 - Staff were not made aware that environmental projects were being scaled back Answer: C E F Question #:3 - [Environmental Management System Requirements] Which one of the following options best describes the main purpose of a Stage 2 third-party audit?

Thus, the Stage 2 audit is where auditors identify nonconformities and gather evidence to support certification decisions.
