Complaints need not be made formally. Any written expression of dissatisfaction by a customer of an NSAI Registered Company, whether justified or not. 0.2 Complaint Categories NOTE: Complaint categorisation is the responsibility of NSAI and is normally determined, initially, by the Quality Officer. However, as more information is gathered, the categorisation of the complaint may be changed to reflect the perceived severity. Category 0 Critical Breaches of confidentiality Lack of appropriate accreditation / mandate Action damaging to NSAI s business or reputation Category 1 Major A nonconformity i.e. the absence of, or the failure to implement and maintain, one or more required management system elements, or a situation which would, on the basis of available objective evidence, raise significant doubt as to the capability of the Management System to achieve the policies and objectives of the NSAI or the quality of an NSAI product or service.

7 PAGE 7 of 11 Likelihood of loss of business Category 2 Minor A failure to comply with the requirements of the scheme, that is less significant than, and does not meet the definition of a Category 1 finding. This includes issues which can be readily resolved or which do not cause excessive inconvenience to the customer. Unlikely to result is loss of business Category 3 Observation A comment, an opportunity for improvement or request for clarification. Category 4 Invalid Feedback which, following investigation, is deemed to be unreasonable, or outside the scope of NSAI services, and/or where no correction or corrective action is required. 1.0 Notes on Process A A dedicated address, feedback@nsai.ie, may be used for all feedback submissions and communication with the TSM team. This address can be used for any feedback whether it be internally generated, continual improvement suggestion or preventive action proposal. An acknowledgement letter, AD-01-14, shall be used when the complaint is by letter. Written complaints will be acknowledged as soon as possible after receipt (this can be accompanied by the correction). Internal issues requiring corrective action are logged as YEAR/99/NUMBER (e.g. 2004/99/01) on the internal audit database and are handled the same as internal audit non-conformities. All issues will be forwarded to the relevant Manager to ascertain validity and to confirm categorisation. Valid issues will be subject to root cause analysis to ensure that corrective and preventive actions are effective. If the Manager is personally involved In the subject of the complaint, the matter will be addressed to his/her Director. Complaints involving a Director will be handled by the CEO. Accreditation Issues: All accreditation non-conformities are to be brought to the attention of the Director, Certification or CEO, NSAI Inc. who will agree responsibility for ownership. Where the issue spans the responsibility of more than one manager, the owner shall be the Director, Certification or CEO, NSAI Inc. who is then responsible for consensus on the action to be taken. 2.0 Notes on Processes B and C The relevant manager is responsible for the resolution of all issues raised by the feedback, including:

8 PAGE 8 of 11 Correction investigation to find the root cause (root cause analysis must be completed using the CAR Form (QS-01-02) which can by supported by additional; aids such as 5 Whys Form (QS-01-15), 8D form (QS-10-14) or simple root cause analysis form (QS-10-17). agreeing and assigning correction and corrective actions to resolve and prevent re-occurrence, deciding and obtaining the resources for resolution, specifying and obtaining evidence of effectiveness, deciding deadlines for completion of investigation, reporting the final outcome. NOTE: 1. and Continual Improvement are discussed at management meetings (see DOP-01-16) and are not seen as part of the closure of a complaint or item of feedback. The CAR has a place to note the meeting where the issue was discussed. 2. The NSAI staff member reporting the feedback issue (or complaint) is always informed upon closure. 3. Certification only: the Director, Certification or CEO, NSAI Inc. from each manager with responsibility for a corrective action committing to take agreed action. Closure of accreditation non-conformities are to be prioritised. 4. In general, because of NSAI s confidentiality agreement with its clients, complaints will not be made public. If the complainant puts the complaint in the public domain (e.g. through radio interview or letter to newspaper), NSAI will meet with the client to determine to what extent the complaint and its resolution should be made public. NSAI will record this decision and how the information is to be released to the public domain. 5. The person responding to the complainant is not to be a person involved directly with the complaint. Normally, a manager responds to the complainant but, if the manager is involved directly with the complaint, the response ids to be sent by the Technical Services Manager. 6. For Certification, copies of all correspondence are to be placed on Goldmine (linked to the company) and copies to the physical file to be reviewed at next on-site audit activity and/or re-assessment.

9 PAGE 9 of Third Party Complaints On receipt of a complaint about an NSAI registered company or certified product, NSAI shall request that it be submitted in writing. All written third party complaints will investigate the complaint with the Registered Company concerned. NSAI issue a standard letter (AD-01-15) to the third party reporting the complaint which advises: That NSAI s policy is not to become involved directly in issues / disputes between a Registered Company and one of their customers. However, NSAI will follow-up and ensure that the complaint is being resolved in a fair and business-like manner and will consider the effectiveness of the client s management system. That NSAI will ensure that the Registered Company is handling the matter in accordance with the relevant management system standard and their procedures for handling complaints. That the Small Claims Court may be the right place to take any action to seek any compensation for poor service or product That NSAI thank the third party for reporting the issue to NSAI. That NSAI will inform the complaint of the outcome of their investigation bearing in mind the balance between client confidentiality and openness in complaint resolution. NSAI write to the company which is the subject of the complaint notifying them of the complaint and that NSAI will be investigating the circumstances and action taken.(standard letter AD-01-16) Unless authorised by a manager, there should be no direct communication between the auditor and the complainant. Communications should be from a member of Management. Although openness is encouraged, this should be at a technical level and, as the complaint is with the company, no company staff names should be included in correspondence from NSAI unless they are mentioned by the complainant or, if not, without written permission from the company or the staff member. This applies whether the names are in the public domain or not. Copies of all correspondence are to be placed on Goldmine (linked to the company) and copies to the physical file to be reviewed at next on-site audit

10 PAGE 10 of 11 activity and/or re-assessment. NSAI, during its next on-site audit activity, will check that the complaint has been adequately addressed. This includes: That the company has a complaints procedure. the complaint is on file and the procedure has been followed. the complaint has been adequately addressed and the correction and corrective actions are in hand. The auditor will report back to the Operations Manager, the outcome of the investigation, and any recommendations regarding further action. The Operations Manager will complete the Action sheet and return to the TSM Administrative Assistant for filing. A letter will be sent by the Operations Manager to the complainant advising them of the outcome of the investigation (as noted above) Where there are more than two or more complaints in a 12 month period concerning the same Registered Company, the TSM Administrative Assistant will advise the relevant Manager who will decide the appropriate action. Where a Third Party is unhappy with NSAI s final response, the matter will be escalated to the Director of Certification or CEO, NSAI Inc.. The decision of the Director of Certification or CEO, NSAI Inc. is final. The correction is considered complete when the final letter is issued to the Third Party. Administrative Assistant is responsible for logging the complaints and tracking closure. 3.0 Notes on Process D The Wednesday Escalation Report contains: Complaints (Weekly) - All corrections not recorded as being completed within 7 days of complaint notification. - All corrective actions where the records show that action is incomplete within 30 days - All corrective actions where the records show that action is incomplete within 90 days Internal Audit Non-conformances (Monthly) - All corrective actions with no agreed target completion date which are over 7 days after issue. - All corrective action which are not recorded as being fully closed by the agreed target date (default is 30 days)
