SOP
Listed in an SOP for an Austrian company as one of three key elements in deviation management:
"Benachrichtigung und Eskalation der Abweichungen"
"Eskalation" usually means the same as the English "escalation" but doesn't seem to be appropriate here. Could it possibly mean here "extent" or "scale" of deviations?
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Selected
escalating non-conformances
You can choose either "escalating or escalation", depending on how you want to phrase the heading, but in my opinion either one is correct.
Ex. "Reporting and escalating non-conformances" might be a good option for a heding.
"to escalate" here means to bring something to the attention to the senior management or to an employee at a higher level.
