Common questions

FAQs.

When can a nonconformity be closed?
When the correction is done, the cause has been addressed, and you have evidence that the corrective action worked. An explanation alone is not enough.
Who sets the closing deadline?
Your own procedure or your certification body. Check their rules, as they differ.
