Confusion with documents and records in ISO14001 revision
(May.1w,2004)

ISO9001: 2000 says in 4.2.3 clause that records are a special type of document and shall be controlled according to the requirements given in 4.2.4. It is an irrational sentence and is no need, because in ISO9001: 2000 the words of gdocumenth and g recordh are properly used.
But as for ISO14001 revision, in spite of its main purpose of consistency between ISO9001: 2000, the confusion with gdocumenth and g recordh show no consistency.

I have already mentioned the problem taking examples (refer to ISO14001 corner and Weekly News April 1w).
Now I summarize in the following table all recording requirements in ISO14001 revision to avoid the confusion for users of Standards. The table shows wandering states of revision processes between gdocumenth and g recordh.
In conclusion, the proper use of gdocumenth and g recordh is done in CD and recent Annex A.

No.
