What does the Registrar do when nonconformances are detected?
Usually the Registrar will require corrective action for minor nonconformances to be implemented no later than the next scheduled Surveillance Audit. Major nonconformances are typically required to be corrected as quickly as the Auditor feels is possible. Most Registrars will not issue a Registration Certificate until any major nonconformances have been acceptably corrected. In some cases, if a nonconformance can only be cleared by on-site inspection, the Auditor may require a special follow-up visit.
