# CAPA and non-conformances

> What Assuric tracks for corrective and preventive action today, and what is still being built.

<Note>
  **Quick summary**

  * One shared task, *CAPA records maintained*, holds your CAPA records across all enabled frameworks.
  * There's no CAPA module yet: you keep the log in Assuric's CAPA Log template.
  * Keep CAPA records for 5 years.
</Note>

## Open the CAPA task

Go to **Frameworks** → your framework → the **Tasks** tab, filter for `CAPA` and select *CAPA records maintained*.

## What Assuric tracks today

A non-conformance is one instance of something not meeting requirements, and a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) formally investigates why.

Each framework has its own CAPA procedure task but shares one record task, *CAPA records maintained*. With Class I UK MD (low-risk software as a medical device) enabled, the same task counts towards that framework too.

Download the CAPA Log template from the task.

*Filtering to "record" (1) surfaces CAPA records maintained (2), the one task doing duty across every framework that asks for it.*

## Limits

* There's no CAPA module, so no intake form, workflow or dashboard. You keep the log yourself, in Assuric's CAPA Log template, and the task tracks that you're doing it.
* Retention is 5 years, per UK MDR 2002, whichever framework the record is logged against.

## Non-conforming product

Only ISO 13485 has a separate task for this, *SOP Control of Non-Conforming Product maintained*. ISO 9001's CAPA procedure covers nonconforming outputs (8.7) and nonconformity and corrective action (10.2), and its records go in *CAPA records maintained*.

</Frame>

*Filtering ISO 13485 to "non-conform" (1) turns up exactly one task (2). It doesn't exist on ISO 9001.*
