Where a supplier submits to the NSAI the paperwork on its processes and the testing it does and the auditors find the product does not conform with the standards with which it is meant to conform, does the authority then go back to the producer and say it needs to make changes, or does it immediately flag the issue to the Department? Is there a process that is followed?
