At our audit we obtained a major non-conformity against clause 1.11 , as this is a subclause of a Fundamental clause – does this mean we get a grade D?
No – the awarding of a major non-conformity must be against the ‘statement of intent’ of a fundamental clause highlighting that there is a substantial failure against the principles of the clause for a grade D to be awarded. You would however, also get a grade D if you had 3 or more major non-conformities, 2 with > 21 minors or 0-1 with > 31 minors.
