Abstract
With the purpose of strengthening and formalizing the ful llment of the principles relating to the Antarctic environment protection established in the Madrid Protocol, an Environmental Management System certi able to ISO14001:2004 was set up at the Brazilian Antarctic Scienti c Station “Comandante Ferraz” (EACF, from now on), to limit the negative environmental impacts. e internal audit of the Environmental Management System of EACF was conducted between December 2011 and January 2012, to verify the compliance of facilities and activities of the EACF in relation to the requirements established by the standard, aiming at the certi cation audit, scheduled for November 2012. e audit was conducted through interviews, data collection, observations and analysis of documents and records, and then the ndings were discussed and the non-conformities identi ed. e level of compliance of the EACF with reference to the requirements of the standard ISO 14.001:2004 came to 86,2%. e conclusion arising from the ndings is that the organization is in a situation of partial compliance with the requirement staken as a reference and scope of the environmental audit.
