Corrective Action纠正措施
Corrective action is a quality management process used to eliminate the root cause of an existing related nonconformity, deviation, or audit finding so that the same problem does not recur. In life-science documentation it appears in CAPA reports, nonconformance records, management review minutes, and regulatory audit responses, and it typically includes documented verification that the action was implemented and effective.

Where this term appears
Corrective action content appears in quality manual sections, CAPA procedures, nonconformance reports, written audit responses, and supplier corrective action requests. Translators must keep the distinction between correction as an immediate fix, corrective action as root-cause elimination, and preventive action clear, because these are separate categories in quality system records.
Translation checks
A recurring mistake is translating “corrective action” as “correction” or a generic term for fixing, which loses the root-cause focus. If a CAPA form or audit response does not convey that the underlying cause was addressed, the translated record may read as a temporary repair rather than a compliant quality action.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check intended use, warnings, document versions and approved terminology with the project team. Translation supports documentation; it does not establish product approval or regulatory acceptance.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
