Objectives
Assisting select Areas and facilities in determining how their environmental management system compares to the 17 elements of the ISO 14001 EMS Standard, and
Improving EMS assessment tools and guidance to ensure practicality and compliance with environmental requirements and other relevant requirements.
Upon completion of the analysis, you should be able to identify which of the 17 EMS elements are already in place and which you need to develop or further refine. Conducting
the gap analysis will also help familiarize you with the ISO 14001 EMS Standard and the elements critical to developing, implementing, checking, and improving the EMS on a
continual basis.
The questionnaire first asks for basic organizational information and background information about the respondent who will be completing the survey such as name, title, roles
and responsibilities, and telephone number.
The bulk of the questionnaire addresses the ISO 14001 requirements. There are 17 short sections of questions that correspond to the 17 EMS elements. The 17 sections fall
under the five main EMS categories of environmental policy; planning; implementation and operations; corrective action; and management review. Each of the sections are
labeled with the EMS element number so you can easily reference additional information about the 17 elements of the Standard.

A numerical rating measuring your organizations conformance to the ISO 14001 Standard is determined from the responses on this questionnaire. A numerical rating is given
for each component response as follows:
The responses are totaled for the entire questionnaire resulting in your score. The highest score possible, 172, indicates all components of the 17 elements are In place in your
EMS (85 questions/components x 2 points for each component In place = 170 points). This baseline assessment enables you to focus on continual improvement. In the
electronic version of the EMS Gap Analysis Questionnaire provided with the EMS Toolkit, the second tab titled "Summary Chart", contains a bar chart to give you a visual
depiction of the degree to which you conform to the ISO 14001 EMS Standard. This chart can be used in management presentations to show the progress of your EMS
implementation.
Hints
1) List of Required Documentation and Records: The ISO 14001 EMS Standard requires physical (or electronic) evidence of certain documents and records. This includes,
for example, the organization's environmental policy. There is a list at the end of this gap analysis questionnaire that highlights which items require physical (or electronic)
evidence in the form of documentation or records. The list is organized by each of the 17 elements in the Standard. Elements of the ISO 14001 EMS Standard that require
documentation are indicated in bold text in the gap analysis questionnaire for easy reference to the requirements of the Standard.
2) List of Reference Material: The second part of the list at the end of this gap analysis questionnaire is a list of reference materials you may already possess that could help
you identify your current EMS status. This list is organized by each of the 17 elements of the Standard.
