Corrective actions and emergency preparedness

Does the ISO 14001:2015 standard require that a formal corrective action process be used for issues identified in an emergency preparedness drill? Our registrar believes it does to prevent recurrence.

Answer:
ISO 14001:2015 does not include any requirement for the use of a formal corrective action process to handle any issues identified in an emergency preparedness drill. One thing is to recommend that practice as an improvement opportunity, another thing is to classify that finding as a non-conformity.
