ISO 17100 certification involves a comprehensive audit of an organisation’s translation service management processes by an accredited certification body. The certification process typically includes an initial assessment, followed by regular surveillance audits to ensure ongoing compliance with the standard’s requirements.
Achieving ISO 17100 certification demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to delivering high-quality translation services through qualified personnel, robust quality assurance processes, and effective project management. It provides assurance to customers and stakeholders that translation services are delivered in accordance with internationally recognised best practices. As with other ISO standards, ISO 17100 emphasises the importance of continual improvement, ensuring that organisations regularly review and enhance their processes to maintain quality and meet evolving customer and industry requirements.
