Answer:

Development or introduction of new product doesn't necessarily impact the existing EMS (Environmental Management System). If the process of making the product is the same as the products already produced in the company, then there is no need for changes.

If the production process or materials used are completely new for the organization, you need to conduct identification and evaluation of environmental aspects of all activities related to production of the product and if there are significant ones, you need to develop and establish operational controls.
