Non-Conformance Policy Writers

What are Non-Conformance Policies?

Non-conformance policies outline how organisations identify, record and resolve situations where products, services or processes fail to meet agreed standards.

Non-conformities can arise from customer complaints, audit findings, process errors or supplier issues. A clear policy ensures that problems are addressed quickly, corrective action is taken and lessons are learned to prevent recurrence.

What Do Non-Conformance Policies Cover?

A non-conformance policy typically includes:

  • A definition of non-conformance, with examples relevant to the organisation

  • Responsibilities of staff, managers and quality teams in reporting and managing non-conformities

  • Procedures for recording non-conformances in a consistent format

  • Risk assessment and classification of non-conformances by severity and impact

  • Root cause analysis to identify underlying issues

  • Corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to address problems and stop recurrence

  • Monitoring and review of non-conformance trends for continuous improvement

  • Communication with customers, suppliers or regulators where required

  • Links to quality strategy, complaints, incident response and audit policies

A clear policy ensures that non-conformances are dealt with transparently, consistently and effectively.

It also supports compliance with ISO 9001 and other quality management standards, which require evidence of structured non-conformance and corrective action processes.

By embedding non-conformance management into quality systems, organisations can protect customers, improve processes and demonstrate a commitment to accountability and continuous improvement.
