ISO 17100 is the only internationally recognized quality standard specific to translation production. It benefits our clients, our partners, and the industry as a whole.

ISO 17100 defines requirements that directly affect the quality and delivery of translation services and covers the entirety of the project life cycle with a focus on traceability. The provisions concern the management of core processes and resources as well as define minimum qualification requirements.

How you, the client, benefit from working with an ISO 17100 certified translation company:

• It gives you confidence that your translation provider follows an internationally recognized standard.

• Provides assurance that the translators and editors are appropriately qualified.

• By adhering to quality guidelines, human error is kept to a minimum.

• Ensures that project files and processes will be handled systematically.

• Requires regular reviews for continuous improvement of client-vendor collaborations.

The standard is particularly relevant for the Life Sciences industry due to its high degree of regulation and product quality sensitivity.
