From clause to evidence
Identify the requirements. Evaluate compliance. Keep the evidence.
ISO management-system standards follow a common high-level structure, originally published as Annex SL. Their requirements connect identifying applicable legal and other requirements with evaluating compliance and documenting the results.
A tailored legal register provides a practical way to support this process.
| Standard | Identify applicable requirements | Evaluate compliance |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 14001ISO 14001:2026 | Clause 6.1.3: Determine environmental compliance obligations and how they apply. | Clause 9.1.2: Evaluate compliance and retain documented information on the results. |
| ISO 45001ISO 45001:2018 | Clause 6.1.3: Determine applicable health and safety legal and other requirements and keep them up to date. | Clause 9.1.2: Evaluate compliance and retain documented information on the results. |
| ISO 50001ISO 50001:2018 | Clause 4.2: Identify applicable legal and other requirements relating to energy efficiency, use and consumption. | Clause 9.1.2: Evaluate compliance and retain documented information on the results. |

FAQs
ISO legal compliance questions
What does ISO 14001 require for legal compliance?
ISO 14001:2026 requires organisations to determine the compliance obligations that apply to their environmental aspects (clause 6.1.3) and to evaluate compliance with them, retaining documented information on the results (clause 9.1.2). Compliance obligations include legal requirements and other requirements the organisation must or chooses to comply with.
Do ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001 require a legal register?
The standards require you to determine applicable legal and other requirements, keep that information up to date and evaluate compliance. They do not prescribe a format. A tailored legal register is a common, practical way to do this and to retain the evidence.
Which clause covers evaluation of compliance in ISO management-system standards?
Clause 9.1.2 covers evaluation of compliance in ISO 14001:2026, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 50001:2018. Identifying applicable requirements sits in clause 6.1.3 for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, and in clause 4.2 for ISO 50001.
