Answer:
I would consider a correction and a corrective action.
What is the NC? Lack of understanding of the standard. How can we eliminate the NC? Correction: Identify all functions and roles with lack of understanding of the standard and provide a training action, or a workshop, or any other way of removing that lack of understanding.
What is the cause of the NC?
For example (clause 1): That requirement was not included in the job description. Corrective action: Update the job descriptions where that requirement is missing.
For example (clause 2): People had training, but it was not effective.
Corrective action: Update training requirements to be able to remove bad trainers from future training opportunities.
