Learning Objectives

After participating in this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify evidence and standards used in AABB nonconformances.
  • Describe the corrective actions process for resolution of AABB nonconformances.
  • Apply the knowledge learned from the case studies to future AABB assessments.

Program Description

Nonconformances and their corrective actions can be daunting sometimes, from understanding the standard and the evidence to then know what to do to fix the problem and reporting that back to AABB. This program will provide case studies highlighting AABB nonconformances from beginning to end, starting with discovery and documenting evidence; interpreting the standards involved and thru reporting and corrective actions taken.
