Hello - this is the first time that I’ve actually appealed nonconformances. We appealed 3 NCs over 2 weeks ago and have yet to hear back from our certifying body. Next week is approaching our timeline for submitting the NCs. I’m getting a bit nervous not hearing back from them. What can I expect during this waiting process? Thank you in advance!

Hi Tonya,

 

I would contact your certification body and remind them that the NC’s are required to be closed out in the SQFI assessment database within thirty (30) calendar days of the completion of the site audit and that time is running out.

 

Kind regards,

Tony

I have notified them. Very frustrating they’re not responding. Definitely am keeping those emails showing my attempt to let them know they haven’t responded with a decision. Thanks!

If you get no response sure, but in the interest in maintaining a working relationship allow the certification body a chance to respond first.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony

Love the graphic, thanks.

Ok. I will amend that... when all fails, tell thw cb that you next step is to contact cb compliance at SQFI.
