Clause 8 Operation. In this series our consultants look at ISO's Annex SL, a clause structure already used in ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 but now arriving in ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015.
This presentation introduces the operation clause, a section containing specific elements relating to the purpose of the standard.
2. Introduction
Assent Risk Management has been implementing ISO
standards based on Annex SL for some time with ISO
22301 and ISO 27001 both using it.
(see: http://www.slideshare.net/rjc211/annex-sl-training-for )
We believe the annex SL structure makes ISO standards
much more adaptable for the organisation and therefore
much more effective.
This series aims to expand the concepts of the 10 Annex
SL clauses for those implementing new Standards such as
ISO 14001:2015 or ISO 9001:2015.
3. Clause 8: Operation
Operation is where much of the standard
specific content is located.
There can also appear some repetition and
content from the planning section is called to
action.
4. Operational Control
Embedding the requirements and over all spirit of the
standard within everyday processes is essential to the
success of the system.
Operation control takes a process approach to achieving
this by establishing and maintaining processes.
Some of this can be informed by the opportunities to
address risks and opportunities clauses.
It should be noted that this extends to outsourced
processes.
