EMAS (European Environmental Audit System)

The background of this project is a European environmental audit system (EMAS) roughly comparable to ISO14000. Companies that are certified for EMAS are obligated to do many audits on a regular basis (machines have to be checked, processes have to be controlled, and so on).

The goal of this project was to create a web based notification system that helps companies to keep track of their EMAS audit cycles. The system will allow to feed a company’s audit cycles into a database using an HTML based web front-end, and to remind the responsible person(s) of each audit that becomes due by sending out emails.  The system tracks all the audits in its database and sends out email notifications when an audit deadline approaches, when the audit becomes due and when it has become overdue without being handled. It also provides the possibility to enter a correction cycle when the auditing was done but the result was negative. The correction cycle also has a set of notifications that are sent out when the certain time limits are reached.
