> noncompliance (and nonconformance, which is similar but not identical)

Anyone who can explain the difference?

A nonconformance is generally a physical thing. For instance a part my be out of tolerance or have have damage that makes it nonconforming.

A noncompliance is generally referring to procedures. For instance not documenting a step in a quality review or not following the assembly procedures for a door plug and ending up with some extra bolts.
