ISO Certification 17100:2015
2M translation and project management processes are officially DIN EN ISO 17100:2015 certified which is the only internationally valid standard that specifically defines process standards for translation services and is intended to ensure a high-quality translation product.
As an industry-specific standard, it standardises processes and requirements relating to translation projects. It makes translation processes and services more transparent and comparable while offering clear definitions of terms and concepts. This has the advantage that customers’ specific quality objectives and the steps needed to achieve them can be communicated more clearly and implemented more efficiently.
