GB/T 24015-2003 Environmental management - Environmental assessment of sites and organizations
Some standard content:
This standard is equivalent to the international standard IS014015:2001 Environmental management This standard is developed and coordinated by the China Standard Research Center. The China Standard Research Center is responsible for the development of this standard. GB/T24D152003/ISO14015:2001 Environmental Assessment of Sites and Organizations (EAS()) 3 The drafting units of this international standard are China Standard Research Center, China Research Institute of Environmental Sciences, China National Environmental Monitoring Center, China Quality Certification Center, National Accreditation Center for Intermediate Conformity Assessment, National Accreditation Committee for Environmental Management Certification Bodies: This standard is mainly composed of the following: Wei Dong, Liu Ke, Mei Tie Ao Shi Yan, Huang Jin, GB/T24015-2003/S014015.2001 Introduction
At present, all kinds of organizations are paying more and more attention to the environmental problems associated with their workplaces and activities, or caused by potential acquisition behaviors. These issues and their attendant operational consequences can be assessed through the use of a site and organization environmental assessment (EAO). This assessment can be conducted both during normal operations and during asset acquisition and transfer, and can also be used as part of a comprehensive operational assessment [commonly referred to as a "due diligence audit"]. This standard provides guidance on the implementation of EASO, including the terminology used and a systematic, transparent and objective approach to implementing this assessment: This assessment is suitable for domestic and international organizations, including small and medium-sized enterprises. This standard is flexible in use and can be used not only for external assessments (whether or not commissioned by a third party), but also for organizations conducting self-assessments. This standard is suitable for enterprises, users of specific sites that have not yet been, are about to be, or are related to The enterprise or market is used by economic organizations (banks, insurance companies, investors, etc.). This standard does not apply to the transfer of liability and profit obligations. The sources of information required for the implementation of EASO may include environmental supervision system review, regulatory compliance review, environmental impact assessment, environmental performance assessment or on-site investigation. Some of these assessments or investigations can be implemented based on relevant national standards (such as GHT24001-1S014901, GB/T24U11-15O14011, CB/T24021-[S0 14031, etc.) EAS departments can determine the consequences of environmental factors and environmental issues by evaluating existing or new policies. HASU conclusions should be based on objective information. If there is no confirmation information, EAS assessors may need to evaluate existing environmental information and make professional judgments in the process of making conclusions. This standard does not provide guidance for the following preventive investigations and on-site remediation reports. It can always be requested by the client: implement active adjustments or on-site safety according to their standards or expectations.

Validation
The evaluator determines whether the information collected is accurate, useful, sufficient and usable for the purpose of the evaluation: 3 Roles and responsibilities
3.1: Client
Client's responsibilities and activities:
Determine the necessity of the evaluation!
h) Determine the purpose of the evaluation:
Determine whether the evaluation is necessary, consult with the client if necessary) Select the evaluator:
Give instructions to the person in charge of the evaluation!
Determine which tasks (planning, information collection and confirmation, evaluation report) are undertaken by the evaluator and which are the responsibility of the client. This may require planning by other experts and consultation with the parties; where appropriate: identify and determine priority areas for evaluation g)
Where appropriate. Contact the representatives of the party being evaluated to ensure full cooperation and initiate the evaluation process; CE/T 24015-2003/1S0 14015.2001i) Approve the evaluation plan:
Provide appropriate authority and resources for conducting the evaluation; k) Provide the evaluator with the information necessary to conduct the evaluation! ) Accept the evaluation results and decide on their release. Before disclosing the evaluation results to any third party, the client should decide whether to notify the representatives of the party being evaluated. Note that the client, the evaluation representative and the evaluation representative may be the same entity. 3.2 Evaluation Representative
The role and qualifications of the evaluation representative should include: a) providing access to relevant areas and information for the purpose of achieving the evaluation; b) informing the relevant subordinates and other relevant parties of the evaluation process; b) providing more information when necessary; c) providing personnel to assist the evaluation process; d) providing a safe working environment for the evaluation representative. The evaluation representative may participate in the determination of the evaluation scope and plan and obtain the evaluation results. When the evaluation is conducted without the knowledge of the evaluation party or the evaluation organization is not responsible for the evaluation, the above roles and responsibilities of the evaluation representative do not apply.
3.3 Evaluation Risk
The role and responsibilities of the evaluation representative are different from those of the auditor in some aspects. The auditor only reviews existing information according to the specified criteria, while the evaluator also collects new information and often needs to evaluate the information to determine the operating results. When conducting on-site and off-site evaluations, evaluators should exercise their own judgment and maintain confidentiality in accordance with the principles of "initiative, knowledge, periodicity and judgment" applicable to all evaluators, unless otherwise required by law or regulation. The responsibilities and activities of the evaluation manager (or evaluation team leader when there are multiple evaluators) should include: a) assisting the client in determining the evaluation month and schedule (including identifying and prioritizing evaluation areas) and evaluation criteria upon request; b) agreeing with the client on the reporting method and format; developing the evaluation plan and presenting it to the client, obtaining the consent of the evaluated party's representative when necessary; developing and maintaining working documents, such as checklists and protocols; ensuring that they have the skills required to achieve the evaluation objectives, and obtaining the client's consent for the annual development of the evaluation team when necessary; obtaining preliminary information!
Assign the decomposed evaluation tasks to the evaluation team members: 1) Collect and confirm information related to the evaluation plan: 2) Identify and evaluate environmental issues; 3) If the client requires, determine the consequences; 4) If the plan has requirements, write an evaluation report and provide guidance on the client's standards and qualifications for evaluators, but environmental evaluation must have sufficient education;

4 Evaluation process
GB/T24015-2003/ISO 14015,2001 The evaluation process includes the planning of the evaluation, the collection and confirmation of information, the evaluation of information, and the preparation of the evaluation report. If the client has specific requirements, this process may include identifying economic opportunities, 4.2 Planning
If the evaluation is to be carried out: Planning should be carried out. Planning should include determining the purpose, scope and criteria of the evaluation, and formulating an evaluation plan. 4.2.2 Purpose of the evaluation
The evaluation should be carried out on a date determined by the client. The purpose of the EASU may include: - Identify, collect and evaluate relevant information on environmental factors and environmental issues related to the site and (or) organization; - Determine the economic consequences of environmental issues related to the site and (or) organization according to the client's requirements. 4.2.3 Scope of the evaluation
The evaluation team determines the boundaries and focus of the evaluation. Whether the evaluation scope includes the determination of these consequences is determined by the client. The following factors should be considered in determining the scope of the evaluation: Type of environmental factors to be evaluated
Other site and organization information! Environmental impacts that may be caused by the assessed party: - Physical boundaries of the assessed party (e.g. distance or part thereof); - Sites located or adjacent to the site (where applicable): - Boundaries of the organization, contractors, suppliers, other organizations (e.g. organizations responsible for off-site disposal of waste), individuals, original occupants of the site, etc. and their activities, time span [e.g. past, present, future?, related to the activities of the assessed party and the client (e.g. continuation of current activities or plans for renovation, expansion, demolition, decommissioning, renovation, etc.):
and related to the determination of assessment criteria, see 4.2.4]. - Post-operation cost basis (where applicable) The scope of the assessment may determine or limit the relevant sites and organizations to be included in the assessment, the assessment letter may require changes to the assessment scope. Any changes to the assessment scope should be recorded and notified to the relevant parties. The client may determine the priority content of the assessment within the assessment scope. These contents are determined based on the information obtained during planning. The determination of the priority evaluation client does not relieve the evaluator of the obligation to record all evaluation criteria during the evaluation process. 4.7.4 Evaluation criteria
Evaluation criteria should be determined to provide a basis for the evaluation of the case information received. The criteria should include but not be limited to: - currently applicable and reasonably foreseeable legal requirements (such as licensing systems, environmental laws and regulations, etc.); - other environmental requirements of the client (organizational policies, external environmental case management practices, systems and work requirements, business norms, etc.); - relevant second parties (such as insurance companies, financial institutions, etc., requirements, current and potential rights claims, etc.); - technical considerations.
4.2.5 Evaluation plan
When used, the evaluation plan should include the following content, including the identity of the client, the evaluated party and the evaluator!GR /T24015—2003/1SO14Q15:20Q1- Evaluation schedule and scope

The collection of relevant documents; The evaluation plan shall be reviewed and approved by the client; When appropriate, the plan should be communicated to the representative of the intended evaluation party; 4.3 Information collection and confirmation
4.3.1 Overview
The basis for the evaluation is the confirmed information about environmental factors. This information is collected before and during the visit through the review of relevant documents and evidence, observation of actual cases, and interviews. The process of collecting information about environmental factors should be in line with the evaluation plan, scope, and plan. In collecting information, the assessor should ensure that it is adequate, relevant and accurate to meet the quality requirements of the assessment. Changes in conditions may affect the validity of the information and therefore the information may only be available at the time of assessment. The assessor should strive to collect detailed information so that isolated findings and minor findings can be considered together (as this may have an impact on the conclusions). Practical guidance box 1 gives examples of the type of information that may be needed in the assessment. Practical guidance box 1 Information that FASO may consider: Planning characteristics (e.g. permanent geological characteristics) - Land use to assess capacity and proximity to existing facilities such as relocation and etc.: Facilities.Processes and operations:
Site load;
Raw materials, by-products and products (including hazardous materials): Material storage, treatment and disposal;
Human resources, water and land drainage
Storage, treatment and disposal of materials;

GB/T24015—20Q3/1S014015:2001 Not every site and group has been considered for consultation, and some of the possible applicable internal treatments are not listed below. 4.3.2 Review of existing documents and records
The assessment should review documents and records individually to gain a full understanding of the site and (or group) and not necessarily to repeat any previous review. Practical guidance 2 gives examples of the types of documents and records that might be considered. Information from the site or other sources may be collected during the review to confirm a particular finding. The party being assessed should not refuse to provide the information required without reasonable justification. If the party being assessed refuses to provide information, this should be stated as a restriction on the review. In addition, time, financial confidentiality and other factors may also interfere with the assessment. The assessor should keep records of the work to document the information received. It is important to record the type, source and reliability of the information when collecting and reviewing it. This is helpful To assist in the more effective implementation of the validation specified in 1.3 and 5 Practical Guidance Frame 2

All interviews shall be conducted at each site or location, and the interviews shall be conducted in accordance with the general principles of the interview. 4.3, 4.4.1 Purpose
Interviews are a method of collecting information that can be used to verify or expand the information obtained from the review of existing documents and records, as well as the actual conditions and activities of the project.
4.3.4.2 Interviews
GB/T24015—2003/1S014015:2001 After obtaining the consent of the representatives of the client and the client, interviews may be conducted with employees who are responsible for the activities and processes being evaluated. When appropriate, interviews may also be conducted with individuals and groups within the site or organization who can provide useful information for the evaluation. Practical guidance outline 4 gives examples of possible interview topics. Practical guidance box 4 Interview topics: Managers: Environmental professionals: Personnel responsible for the activity: Operators, academic staff; Former or retired employees: Environmental legislation department; Fire department, emergency service department: Health department; Government authorities; Units and residents near the site + Legal advisors: Internal professional health and safety personnel; Contracting parties; Purchasers, former users of the site.
Each current employee shall be recorded in the above-mentioned department and the interviewees may be interviewed daily, and the following contents may be added to the interviewees: 4.3.4.3 Interview contents
In addition to the interviewee’s location, the interviewee may also interview the following contents which are relevant to the evaluation: – the nature of their work, their past and present experience in the work, information about the use, conditions and history of the work, with special attention to any changes that may have an impact on the environment in the past or are currently changing,
4. 3. 4. 4 Limitations
The interviewee has no questions to answer, and may have questions about knowledge and ability that cannot be answered, so the evaluator should make a judgment on them.
The evaluator shall determine whether the interviewee is unable to communicate well and has insufficient language expression ability, and has not obtained sufficient information. 4.3.4.5 Conclusion
It is advisable to summarize the interview results and confirm the conclusions drawn from them when possible. 4.3.5 Information Confirmation
When collecting information, the accuracy, adequacy and suitability of the information should be confirmed. If the information can be confirmed, the impact of the information limitations on the evaluation should be determined and the evaluation results should be notified as soon as possible. If there is a lack of confirmation information, the valuation personnel can be asked to make professional judgments to evaluate the environmental risk information obtained and draw conclusions. However, in any case, the conclusions should be based on the confirmation information as much as possible. GB/T24015-2003/1S014015.20014.4 Assessment Information on environmental factors provides input to the assessment process. This process consists of two steps, namely identification of environmental issues and determination of operational consequences (see Figure 2). The client may decide whether these two steps are to be performed by different organizations, especially when other relevant professional skills (such as technical, legal or financial skills) are required to be used to determine the operational consequences.

Figure 2 Evaluation process
4.4.2 Identification of environmental issues
In order to identify environmental issues, the confirmed information about the environmental project should be compared with the selected evaluation criteria. When the confirmed information meets the criteria and may lead to the following results, it is identified as an environmental issue. · Financial consequences or benefits of the organization
Affect the public image of the evaluated party or the client: other costs,
Those with a small or large relationship with the operation may be important in terms of environmental distribution, and vice versa. After the results of this step, the environmental issues related to the client are identified. 4.4.3 Determination of financial consequences
Business consequences are determined only when required by the evaluation purpose and scope: Financial consequences refer to the actual or potential impact of the environmental issues stimulated and evaluated (which can be financial, positive or negative)
