When setting the scope, it should be noted that the credibility of the environmental management system will depend upon the choice of organizational boundaries. If a part of an organization is excluded from the scope of its environmental management system, the organization should be able to explain the exclusion. If this International Standard is implemented for a specific operating unit, policies and procedures developed by other parts of the organization can be used to meet the requirements of this International Standard, provided that they are applicable to that specific operating unit.

This process should consider normal and abnormal operating conditions, shutdown and startup conditions, as well as reasonably foreseeable emergency situations.Organizations do not have to consider each product, ponent or raw material input individually. They may select categories of activities, products and services to identify their environmental aspects. Although there is no single approach for identifying environmental aspects, the approach selected could for example considera) emissions to air,b) releases to water,c) releases to land,d) use of raw materials and natural resources,e) use of energy,f) energy emitted, . heat, radiation, vibration,g) waste and byproducts, andh) physical attributes, . size, shape, colour, appearance.In addition to those environmental aspects an organization can control directly, an organization should also consider aspects that it can influence, . those related to goods and services used by the organization and those related to products and services that it provides. Some guidance to evaluate control and influence is provided below.
