Purpose: of the paper has been the revealing the dependence between conformity assessment of the implemented quality system of any kind and optimization of the system risk in typical production organisation, special organisation realising production for products supplied for the needs of arm forces as well as research and standardizing laboratory. Design/methodology/approach: Methodology used for the analysis has covered the analyses of results of internal and external audits conducted in Polish organisations certified on the basis of conformity assessment with requirements of ISO 9001 standard, AQAP 2110 publication and accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 standard. Findings: of analysis are as follows: estimation of number and character of nonconformities, occurring during processes of internal and external conformity assessment, has described dependences between size and branch of organisation, where the management system is implemented, phase of implementation as well as the time of the system functioning. Practical implications: can be applied in case of any organisation and any kind of audit; the used procedure of conformity assessment allows for the definition of the value of the risk connected with quality assurance - in management system based on quality criterion, in services, and both production and research processes. Originality/value: Value of the presented paper has been constituted by the description of different quality systems, based on requirements of ISO 9001, AQAP 2110 and ISO/IEC 17025 standards in the model of the management system using the conformity assessment in the improvement cycle of system risk minimization.
