ELY, ENGLAND, November 19, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The new version of ISO 14001 – the international standard for environmental management systems (EMSs) – has now been published. If your EMS is certified to ISO 14001:2004 you need to start thinking about transitioning to meet the Standard’s new requirements.

IT Governance, the global provider of management system documentation tools, is pleased to announce the launch of its ISO 14001:2004 to ISO 14001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool, which has been designed to help organisations do exactly that.

The ISO 14001:2004 to ISO 14001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool has been created to help organisations that have implemented an ISO 14001:2004-compliant EMS to assess their current compliance against the new iteration of the Standard, ISO 14001:2015.

The first part of any ISO 14001 transition project is to determine where your EMS no longer meets the Standard’s requirements. This user-friendly tool examines the clauses and requirements of ISO 14001:2004 and maps them to the new ISO 14001:2015, enabling all organisations to see where they need to focus their efforts when updating their EMS.

The ISO 14001:2004 to ISO 14001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool enables organisations to:

• Determine the state of their environmental management system (EMS)
• Identify where they need to make changes
• Implement new processes and procedures

By using this tool organisations will be able to:

• Prioritise their workload
• Inform their initial project planning
