Yep - I did the same - all we basically had to do was write down what
we already did.
I later worked for another company which had done the same thing,
written down their existing procedures for ISO900x and thereby set
them in stone. People were coming along and following procedures that
in some cases were frankly wrong, but not questioning them because
they were part of the ISO certification, so they must be right.
