13. Non-conformance and corrective action¶
Non-conformance and corrective action are controlled within the ISO 9001 system (QP03), aiming to identify non-conformity as early as possible. A Non-Conformity Report (NCR) is raised and passed to the appropriate manager. Welding-related non-conformances are referred to the RWC to consider immediate remedial action, stopping the process, recall of completed items, feasibility and method of re-welding, weld repairs (per FPC 04) and reassessment, lessons learnt, and welder competency/training needs.
