INCOMPLIANT Meaning and Definition

  1. Incompliant is an adjective that describes someone or something that does not comply with rules, regulations, or requirements. It refers to an individual or entity that fails to adhere to specific instructions, guidelines, or duties put forth by a governing body, organization, or authority.

    When an individual is deemed incompliant, it means they do not follow or fulfill the expected criteria or guidelines set by a particular standard or system. They may show resistance, disregard, or nonconformity to the established rules or commands, thereby displaying a lack of obedience or unwillingness to comply.

    Similarly, incompliance can also refer to something that does not conform to a particular standard or specification. It may describe objects, mechanisms, technology, or processes that fail to meet expected guidelines or requirements. In such cases, they may not sufficiently provide the desired outcome or perform as intended due to their noncompliance.

    In situations where incompliance exists, there is often a need for correction, enforcement, or intervention to address the nonconforming behavior or object. This may involve implementing penalties, disciplinary actions, or corrective measures to bring about compliance and rectify the situation, ensuring that the expectations, rules, or guidelines are met.

  2. Not disposed to comply or yield to solicitation.
