REVIEW OF EMS CERTIFICATION CRITERIA NORMS

Dear Sir/Madam
Are you one of the clients of the certification body Český lodní a průmyslový registr, s.r.o no. 3052, and a holder of a certificate according to ČSN EN ISO 14001 containing norm ISO 14001:1996.
Let us inform you of the change to the criteria norm.
On 15 November 2004 norm ISO 14001:2004 was published, which replaces norm ISO 14001:1996. As a result, we received the "IAF Plan - transfer of the accredited EMS certification from ISO 14001:1996 to ISO 14001:2004“ for accreditation on 11.2.2005 from the Czech Accreditation Institute.

In view of the fact that the reviewed norm does not contain any new major requirements, the procedure is simplified and contains the following procedure:

a) from 15.5. 2005 to 15.5.2006 our auditors will perform examinations as part of regular supervisory audits and renewing audits while referring to the original norm EN ISO 14001:2004 . After introducing the relevant ČSN they will continue according to this norm.
This period could begin earlier in individual cases upon agreement with you, and after our preparation is complete (accreditation certificate).

b) If the auditors discover departures/inconsistencies in cases of regular supervision with regard to the requirements of the reviewed norms, they will document these according to the determined procedure, however it will not have any effect on the validity of the certification.

c) After the supervision, a new certificate will be issued with reference to EN ISO 14001:2004 and later with reference to the relevant ČSN.

All certificates will be changed this way during the annual period. This change will not affect the price or supervisory audits or renewing (recertification) audits.
After 15.5.2006 the inconsistencies/departures will be examined in all the cases with regard to the validity of the certification.

We look forward to further cooperation. Yours sincerely
