NEW QUESTION # 11
An auditor from the headquarters of a large international chemical organisation is auditing a branch located along the bank of a river. During the opening meeting, the General Manager explained that 10 minutes before, the local environmental authority had sent an email informing that the organisation had been fined due to very high values of BOD and COD measured downstream. The General Manager said they are quite confident in solving the problem, as explained by their external compliance consultant. The auditor visited the laboratory and did not find any potential deviation. A competitor just built a plant across the river.
Match the following issues with the relevant ISO 14001 clause.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
* Laboratory data analysis: 9.1.1
* External compliance consultant: 7.2
* Waste discharge as an environmental aspect: 6.1.2
* Use of the applicable regulation: 6.1.3
* A new plant across the river: 4.1
* Water treatment plant operational control: 8.1
* Communication with the new plant: 7.4
* Compliance with regulations: 9.1.2
In accordance with ISO 14001:2015, audit trails must be evaluated against their corresponding standard requirements.
Evaluating external factors such as the competitor's new plant across the river relates directly to understanding the organization and its context (Clause 4.1). Identifying waste discharge into the river aligns with identifying environmental aspects and associated impacts (Clause 6.1.2), while determining relevant legal standards for discharge represents determining compliance obligations (Clause 6.1.3). Evaluating the competence of external advisors, such as the compliance consultant, falls under competence requirements (Clause 7.2). External interactions or dialogue regarding shared environmental conditions fall under communication processes (Clause 7.4).
Operationally, managing water treatment operations to ensure effluent compliance represents operational planning and control (Clause 8.1). Monitoring and analyzing laboratory sampling data corresponds to monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation (Clause 9.1.1). Finally, evaluating actual compliance status relative to environmental fine notifications and legal limits requires evaluating compliance (Clause
9.1.2).

NEW QUESTION # 12
Which two of the following options are an advantage of using a sampling plan for the audit?
Answer: C,F
Explanation:
According to ISO 19011:2018 Clause 5.3.2 and Annex B (Audit Sampling):
Sampling allows auditors to:
Reduce audit time while still covering sufficient evidence (A),
Provide statistically valid assurance and confidence in the results (C).
Sampling does not replace auditor judgment (D), nor is it intended to prevent conflict (F) or be reused blindly for future audits (E).
Reference: ISO 19011:2018 Clause 5.3.2, Annex B.
NEW QUESTION # 13
A group of 22 Italian restaurants in downtown San Francisco (US) established an EMS following the requirements of ISO 14001. You are performing an internal audit before the fourth certification cycle. The audit plan included an audit of the General Manager (GM) as the last interview before the closing meeting.
During the interview with the GM, you audit clause 10.3 (Continual improvement). The dialogue is as follows.
You: Could you please tell me how did you improve the EMS to enhance environmental performance (Clause
10.3)?
GM: One way to improve the EMS is to improve one or several of its processes. We decided to improve the water-consuming processes in all our branches. We use water in many of our processes (e.g. to wash our kitchens, our cutlery, plates, and glasses, to keep our floors clean). The idea was to review these processes in detail to reduce the amount of water used per customer. Each of the 22 branches sent us their results, we analysed the data and found out that the average water consumption per customer was reduced by 13%; therefore, we improved our environmental performance. We are happy about that.
You: What about the results in each branch?
GM: Have a look at this table:
Analysing this table, what would be your decision related to raising nonconformities to clause 10.3? Select two.
Answer: E,F
NEW QUESTION # 14
You are conducting a Stage 2 certification audit of Fitalot, a pharmaceutical organisation manufacturing vitamins and other healthcare medicines. In a separate area at the centre of their large site, a supplier produces oxygen that is piped directly into the manufacturing processes of Fitalot. They also deliver oxygen in bulk tankers to other customers. When you review the environmental aspects register, you find that the only environmental aspect recorded for this arrangement relates to the heavy goods vehicles of the supplier transiting the site.
You ask the EMS Manager about the environmental consequences of this arrangement for Fitalot and are told that they are not significant, since the supplier provides its own services for water, sewage, waste, and energy.
The EMS Manager tried unsuccessfully to communicate with the supplier, who is located inside the Fitalot site. He said they were outside the scope of the EMS and therefore never audited.
After gathering more evidence, you note down findings against several clauses of ISO 14001. Determine which three of the findings stated are major nonconformities.
Answer: D,F,H
Explanation:
In accordance with ISO 14001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17021-1 requirements, a major nonconformity represents a total breakdown or significant absence of a required management system process that compromises the integrity or capability of the EMS to achieve its intended outcomes.
* Option B (Clause 4.3 Scope of the EMS): Artificially excluding a core, high-risk production activity operating physically within the center of the organization ' s site boundary directly violates Clause 4.3 boundaries and authority requirements, constituting a systemic scope omission (Major Nonconformity).
* Option D (Clause 9.2.2 Internal Audit Programme): Completely excluding on-site supplier operations directly supplying critical raw materials from the internal audit programme represents a breakdown in monitoring and evaluation governance under Clause 9.2 (Major Nonconformity).
* Option H (Clause 6.1.2 Environmental Aspects): Failing to identify and document environmental aspects and associated impacts for on-site chemical manufacturing operations that Fitalot controls or influences constitutes a total absence of aspect risk evaluation for primary processes (Major Nonconformity).
Conversely, Option A is factually false per the scenario (truck transit aspects were recorded). Option C is invalid because ISO 14001 does not mandate that contractor policies mirror the host company ' s policy.
Options F and G reflect localized operational communication issues rather than major systemic breakdowns.
References: ISO 14001:2015 Clauses 4.3 (Determining scope), 6.1.2 (Environmental aspects), 9.2.2 (Internal audit programme), ISO/IEC 17021-1 Clause 9.4.5, and CQI-IRCA ISO 14001 Lead Auditor Curriculum (Grading Nonconformities).
NEW QUESTION # 15
Which one of the following options best describes the main purpose of a Stage 2 third-party audit?
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 (used alongside ISO 14001 for certification audits), the certification process includes Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits:
The purpose of the Stage 1 audit is to review the management system documentation and assess the organization's preparedness for Stage 2.
The Stage 2 audit's main objective is to evaluate the implementation, including the effectiveness, of the organization's management system. This includes assessing conformity with all the requirements of ISO
14001:2015.
As per ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 Clause 9.3.2.2.2:
"The stage 2 audit shall take place at the site(s) of the organization. It shall include at least the following:
information and evidence about conformity to all requirements of the applicable management system standard." Thus, the Stage 2 audit is where auditors identify nonconformities and gather evidence to support certification decisions.
