Key takeaways
- Clause 4.3 defines the EMS boundaries and applicability while Clause 4.4 establishes and improves the system.
- Scope must consider issues, obligations, units, boundaries, activities, products, services, and control authority.
- The EMS scope must be documented and made available to interested parties.
- Scope cannot be used to exclude inconvenient activities or evade legal and stakeholder accountability.
- A well-defined scope creates clarity for auditors and credibility for stakeholders.
