Frequently Asked Questions
As a specialized ISO consultant in Riga, Latvia we provide the expertise needed to build a lean Quality Management System (QMS). We guide you through the entire ISO implementation process, ensuring your business meets the requirements for ISO 9001, EN 9100, and other key standards.
ISO 9001 certification is a global benchmark for quality. It improves internal efficiency, reduces waste, and is often a mandatory "ticket to trade" for international supply chains and government tenders.
Both refer to the same aerospace quality standard. AS 9100 is the American designation, while EN 9100 is the European version used by companies in Latvia and across Europe.
An ISO internal audit (first party audit) is a mandatory requirement to maintain your certificate. Outsourcing this to an independent expert ensures total objectivity and identifies risks before your official surveillance audit (third party audit).
ISO implementation and certification typically take 3-12 months, depending on organizational size, complexity, and existing processes. Small businesses with simple, existing procedures may achieve this in 3–6 months, while larger or more complex organisations usually require 6–18 months.
An ISO Lead Auditor is a certified professional qualified to lead teams in assessing an organisation's management system against specific ISO standards (e.g., 9001, 27001).
ISO maintenance is a retainer service where we act as your outsourced Quality Manager. We handle documentation updates, regulatory monitoring, and audit preparation so your staff can focus on core operations.
Absolutely. While we are a consultant based in Riga and available for on-site visits, some of the implementation and documentation review can be handled remotely via secure digital platforms. This flexibility allows us to support organisations across Europe and internationally while minimizing travel costs for our clients.
Not with ISOLogic. Our "Guidance with Logic" approach focuses on lean ISO implementation. We replace complex, redundant paperwork with practical digital documentation and efficient processes that actually make your internal systems easier to manage.
Yes. All food businesses in Latvia are required to implement a food safety (paškontroles) system based on HACCP principles to comply with PVD (Food and Veterinary Service) requirements.
A food safety system is a structured approach to managing risks in food handling. In Latvia, these systems are based on HACCP principles and are designed to identify, control and prevent potential hazards throughout your processes.
In practice, businesses are required to implement a food safety system based on HACCP principles rather than a standalone “HACCP certification.” The focus is on practical implementation of food safety procedures aligned with PVD requirements.
Training is required for employees who start working in food handling and do not have a relevant food-related qualification, as well as those who have not worked in the food sector for more than three years.
Food hygiene training must typically be refreshed at least once every three years to ensure knowledge remains up to date and compliant with Latvian regulations.
ISO 22000 is an international food safety management standard that incorporates HACCP principles within a broader management system framework. It is typically used by larger or more complex food businesses.
