ISO 14004:2016 4.2.4: Determining compliance obligations

Guidance: the organization should decide which of the needs and expectations held by relevant interested parties bind it, and which of the others it will take on voluntarily; together these are its compliance obligations, detailed further in 6.1.3. The approach should suit the organization's scope, nature and scale, and be practical in detail, complexity, time, cost and data availability. It should gain knowledge of the broad areas of applicable legislation (air quality, discharge limits, waste regulation, facility licensing) and of voluntary commitments (customer requirements, voluntary codes, agreements with communities or authorities) and their implications for the intended outcomes.
