A correction addresses the immediate problem. Corrective action addresses the cause of the nonconformity so that recurrence is prevented or reduced.
Information that can be verified, such as records, observations, system data, interviews supported by evidence and documented results. An unsupported statement is not strong evidence on its own.
CAPA refers to corrective and preventive action. In modern ISO management-system practice, the focus is on correcting nonconformities, addressing causes and using risk-based thinking to prevent unwanted outcomes.
Recovery Time Objective is the target time for restoring a disrupted activity, service or resource to an acceptable level after disruption.
An environmental aspect is an element of an organisation's activities, products or services that interacts or can interact with the environment.
Review frequency should reflect organisational requirements, risk, changes and applicable obligations. A fixed cycle may be useful, but material changes can require review before the scheduled date.
