Gap analysis and implementation plan
I start by reviewing what already works in your company. The output is a list of gaps against the standard and a schedule with concrete dates.

What ISO certification consulting covers
The scope is agreed before the project starts, so it is clear who owns which part of the implementation.
Documentation and procedures
Procedures describe how your company actually works rather than repeating a template. The documentation should be used after certification, not shelved.
Team training
I train management representatives and internal auditors so the organisation can maintain the system between surveillance audits.
Support during the certification audit
I take part in the audit run by the certification body and help close any corrective actions.
ABOUT
Ireneusz Kozera - ISO lead auditor and quality adviser
Since 2008 I have implemented, maintained and certified management systems compliant with ISO standards and HACCP. I work with manufacturers, service companies and public sector bodies.
I treat an implementation as a business process optimisation project, not as document production for an audit. A well designed system shortens decision paths, reduces errors and clarifies responsibilities.
- Lead audits and internal audits of management systems
- Preparation for ISO certification with accredited bodies
- Implementations that do not interrupt day-to-day operations
- Internal auditor training with certificates of completion

Every area is handled from analysing the requirements of the standard to readiness for the certification audit.

Among them 9 organisations from the Grodzisk district and neighbouring municipalities of western Mazovia, including Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Brwinów, Wiskitki and Karczew. Names are given as they stood at the time of the engagement, so some refer to entities that now trade under a different name. The list excludes clients bound by confidentiality and sole traders whose business name contains the owner's personal name.
TRAINING
ISO training and internal communication training
A management system survives only when the team understands why it exists. Alongside training on the requirements of the standards, I run sessions on internal communication and information flow between departments.

Internal auditor training with a practical part
Internal communication training: information flow, reporting non-conformities, cross-department cooperation
Frequently asked questions about ISO certification
How long does an ISO 9001 implementation take?
Usually between 2 and 6 months. The timeline depends on the size of the organisation, the number of sites and how many processes are already documented. The schedule is set after the gap analysis, so you know the certification audit date from the start.
What does preparing for ISO certification involve?
Bringing the organisation to a state where it meets the requirements of the standard and can evidence it. This covers the gap analysis, procedures, team training, an internal audit and the management review. Only then is the company submitted to a certification body.
What does an ISO lead auditor do?
A lead auditor plans and runs the audit, assesses conformity of the management system with the standard and owns the findings and the report. In an implementation project, the same competence is used to anticipate what the certification body will ask before it arrives.
Is an ISO certificate valid indefinitely?
No. A certificate is normally issued for 3 years, with annual surveillance audits confirming the system is still working. After three years a recertification audit takes place.
How does HACCP differ from ISO 22000 certification?
HACCP is a hazard analysis system required by law from every food business. ISO 22000 is a certifiable standard that contains the HACCP principles and adds management system requirements: organisational context, objectives, internal audits and management review.
Will implementing an ISO system disrupt day-to-day operations?
It should not. The work is planned around processes that already run, and the documentation describes how the company actually operates. The team is involved in a few workshops and training sessions; the rest I prepare on my side.
