ISO 17100 TRANSLATION SERVICES

ENSURING QUALITY IN THE PROVISION OF TRANSLATION SERVICES

Any organisation providing translation services – whether technical, legal, financial or medical translations – should take steps to demonstrate competence in competitive markets. ISO 17100 provides a framework for quality and best practice standards, giving complete confidence to stakeholders when providing translation services. And Bureau Veritas can guide you through the certification process.

WHAT IS ISO 17100?

ISO 17100 is the global quality standard for translation services. It specifies the requirements for the provision of translation services, including the competences of translators, project management, and quality assurance. ISO 17100 applies to all types of translation services, including technical, legal, financial, and medical translations.

The ISO 17100 standard comprises six clauses, covering four key areas: Resources, pre-production, production and post-production.
