ISO 14001 implementation procedures and steps

First, ISO 14001 internal auditor must be a qualified auditor, but it is your organization that establishes the qualification criteria.

ISO 14001:2015 does not mandates an EMS manual.

When I start implementing an ISO 14001 EMS I start with a Gap Analysis and with an initial determination of environmental aspects and impacts. ISO 14001:2015 has little mandatory documents. One should only consider writing procedures for those situations classified as critical. For example, you want to know legal requirements and to check if the organization complies.
