What should a non-conformance report (NCR) include?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
A non-conformance report should include a description of the non-conformance, the date it was identified, the parties involved, and the corrective action taken. It should also document the impact on the project and any follow-up required.
Key points
- Description of the issue
- Date of identification
- Involved parties
- Corrective actions taken
- Impact on the project
NCRs are key for tracking quality issues on site. They help ensure all parties are aware of problems and what's being done to fix them. Make sure to fill in all details clearly so everyone knows what's at stake and what needs addressing.
