Corrective Action Request (or Observation):

referenced above.
Note: Effective corrective actions focus on addressing the specific occurrence described in evidence
above, as well as the root cause to eliminate and prevent recurrence of the non-conformance
FME response
(including any
evidence submitted)
This unconformity was issued because the assessor interpreted that chemical
analysis is not undertaken in a small creek that lies 50 meters far from the seedling
nursery. In the light of this, it has been defined that this analysis will be carried out
on an annual basis to confirm whether the existing water resource is
contaminated or not.
SCS review
Procedures to analyze the water from the seedling nursery irrigation system and
the water from the creek that lies 50 meters far from the seedling nursery have
been adopted. The results of the analysis that was held in March 2017 have been
made available. The analysis encompasses the main active principle (Glyphosate)
and total trihalomehane. The result of the evaluation showed that these active
principles are not present.
