IPP associate NRs for zero tolerance failures are defined as occurrences:

• A. Any time they occur for the same cause
• B. Any time they occur within 90 days of each other
• C. Any time they occur within 1 week of each other
• D. Any time they are deemed to have occurred from human error

Answer: (A)

Zero-tolerance failures are tracked by recording a nonconformance report every time the same root cause leads to a failure, regardless of when it happens. This approach ensures that any repetition of the same issue is visible and investigated promptly, maintaining the strict standard implied by zero tolerance. Relying on a time window would let recurrent failures slip through the cracks, and tying it to human error alone shifts focus away from preventing the repeat occurrence. So the best approach is to open a nonconformance for each occurrence of the same cause, no matter the timing.
