QPS 10.2-01 Corrective Action

Description

Procedure for initiating, assigning, implementing, and recording corrective actions under ISO 9001:2026 — covering nonconformity identification, root cause analysis, corrective action implementation, and effectiveness verification per clause 10.2. Includes an editable CAR Form and CAR List, built directly into the document as live tables.

CARs can be initiated from the Internal Audit process or by any employee for any product or process nonconformity. Risk actualization for the modified process follows QPS 6.1-01 Actions to Address Risks.

Who Needs This Procedure

This procedure is for organizations implementing ISO 9001:2026 that need a documented approach to handling nonconformities — from initiating a Corrective Action Request through root cause analysis, corrective action implementation, and effectiveness verification. Covers both product nonconformities (rejects, damaged goods) and process nonconformities (missed sign-offs, unrecorded training, skipped management reviews).
