What item is not required to be listed in a non-conformance/discrepancy report?

The item that is not required to be listed in a non-conformance or discrepancy report is related to how often this type of non-conformance occurs with the contractor. Non-conformance reports primarily focus on documenting specific instances of non-compliance with project specifications or requirements.

The key components of a non-conformance report typically include details that clearly identify the nature of the discrepancy, which encompasses the description and location of the non-conformance, as well as any relevant references to the applicable details in the plans. This ensures that all stakeholders are informed about the specific issues that need addressing and can take appropriate corrective actions.

Including how often a particular type of non-conformance occurs might provide valuable context for assessing the contractor's performance overall but does not directly pertain to the immediate requirements of documenting a specific instance of non-compliance. Therefore, while useful in performance evaluations or trend analysis, this information is not a mandatory element in the report itself.
