Other Interpretations





∞MINOR NONCONFORMITY
∞An ISO 9001 nonconformance to that judgment and experience indicate is not likely to result in the failure of the quality system or reduce its ability to assure controlled processes or products.
∞A failure in some part of the supplier's documented quality system relative to ISO 9000, or
∞A single observed lapse in following one item of the company's quality system.
∞From KPMG:
•A nonconformance that is not of the severity indicated by the definition of major nonconformances, above, but which must be actioned.
∞From LRQA:
•LRQA calls this a Continuous Improvement point. They discourage talk about 'major' and 'minor' nonconformances.
