Mayor nonconformities

A situation in which the External Auditor found some Major Non-conformity and the auditor has given some time and suggested some changes for that Non-Conformity. Generally, What will be time span for follow up and for certifying it.

Answer:

This timeframe will depend on the mayor non-conformity, because in the case of minor nonconformities is two months. Therefore, I will follow your auditor recommendations regarding the time and changes.

Remember thatclause 10.2 of the 14001:2015 standard specifies how to deal with nonconformity and corrective action, and documenting any changes that may occur in your EMS due to repairing nonconformity falls firmly into that category. So, if you treat the process of repairing a nonconformity as you would with any corrective action, you will have evidence to demonstrate compliance to the auditor if executed correctly.
