Notice
4.1
ANAB lead assessors and technical experts shall use this mechanism to identify those NCRs which must be tracked on ANSICA:
a)
until the provision of objective evidence demonstrates evidence of conformity (Type 1 Response)
b)
until the provision of objective evidence demonstrates the completion of the corrective action (Type 2 Response)
c)
until the provision of objective evidence demonstrates a satisfactory corrective action plan (Type 3 Response)
4.2
Through the use of these options in PRO-PR-106, the ANAB Assessor shall identify the level of content/updates needed on ANSICA prior to closing the NCR. Disallowance of Type 2 or Type 3 responses shall be noted for the NCR when it is finalized in the ANSICA database.
NOTE: This process is valid for all accreditation programs managed by ANAB under ISO/IEC 17065 requirements.
