correctly.
You are required to either:

Sample Question: A large home appliance manufacturing company (that
manufactures heavy-duty industrial vacuum cleaners) commissioned a customer
survey after receiving several customer complaints regarding ease-of-use in their
latest model of the vacuum cleaner. When the Auditor checked the customer
feedback forms, the users complained of backache while using the vacuum
cleaner. They asked the Product Manager regarding this, he said, “The Design
Manager is the right person to answer this query”. The Design Manager replied,
“We know the reason for the complaint even before we completed the product
design. We had the same feedback about the usage of the product during
product testing. However, we had to restrict the product’s budget to USD 1200
making us reduce the telescopic wand by 9 inches. A longer wand would have
been easier to use but it would have cost more”. When the auditor further asked,
“Did you not consider the user feedback from your testing team before you
released the product?”, he remarked, “We knew about it, but our budgetary
considerations were set by the company management. Our hands were tied”.
Sample Answer:
1. Non-conformity.
2. Description of Non-conformity: The organization did not consider the
internal testing department’s feedback about the OH&S hazards that arose while
using the product.
3. Relevant Evidence: The product testing department’s feedback regarding
backache while using the product was ignored.

assembly, construction, service delivery, maintenance, and disposal.
