Non-Conformity (or Background/ Justification in the case of Observations):
The FME has defined monitoring to assess the effectiveness of the measures that are employed to keep
and/or enhance the HCVs that had been identified. Conclusions are made upon finalization of every
monitoring campaign. The paperwork was analyzed and it was realized that the links between definition
of the attributes & monitoring indicators are not clear because the initial HCVA survey had been
undertaken by a research entity whereas the monitoring are being carried out by another entity.
Corrective Action Request (or Observation):
The findings of the HCVS monitoring reports should be revised to make it clear the link between the HCVs
that had been identified & the monitoring indicators.
