Who signs off a non-conformance report (NCR)?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
The project manager or site supervisor usually signs off a non-conformance report (NCR). Depending on the project's procedures, the quality control manager might also need to approve it before action is taken.
Key points
- NCRs are signed by the project manager or site supervisor.
- Quality control manager might also sign off.
- Signature indicates acceptance of the non-conformance.
The NCR process helps track issues that don't meet quality standards. Once an NCR is raised, it needs to be reviewed and signed off to confirm everyone understands the issue and agrees on the corrective actions. Check your project's quality management plan for specific protocols.
