∞Major Nonconformance
•The absence of, or the failure to implement and maintain,
one or more required management system
elements, or a situation which would, on the
basis of available objective evidence, raise significant doubt as to the quality of what the registration customer
is supplying. An assessment team may
judge many minor nonconformities against a
single quality system element to be a significant
breakdown of a quality management system element.
∞Minor Nonconformance
•Any other non-conformance and is normally easily
corrected and verified.
∞Opportunity
•Neither a major or minor non-conformance. It is used to
document items that may help a customer
improve.
