The calibration validity by tracing the calibration record
I have found a calibration sticker missing from two pieces of equipment. However, the calibration was still valid by tracing the calibration record. I am not sure if non-confirmation or observation is according to ISO 9001-2015?

I do not use the word “observation” since there is no ISO 9000 or ISO 19011 definition for it. I use major and minor nonconformity.
In your audit you verified a non-conformity according to clause 7.1.5.2 b). According to your description, I would raise a minor nonconformity.
