ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services Certification
ISO 17100:2015
ISO 17100:2015 is the premier international standard for Translation Services. It specifies requirements for all aspects of the translation process directly affecting the quality and delivery of translation services, including translator qualifications, technical resources, pre-production, translation, revision, and post-production workflows.
Achieving ISO 17100 certification provides client assurance that every translation project meets rigorous international quality standards.
In legal, medical, technical, and financial translation, accuracy is paramount. ISO 17100 mandates independent two-step translation and revision by qualified linguists before delivery.
