ISO 17100 Translation: The Benchmark for Quality
In today’s regulated markets, the difference between an accepted document and an expensive delay often comes down to a single word. For companies working in sensitive sectors—such as life sciences, food, legal, or technical industries—quality is not just about language accuracy, but about the reliability and transparency of the entire translation process. That’s why ISO 17100 translation has become the global benchmark for professional translation services.
What Is ISO 17100 Translation?
ISO 17100 is the international standard designed specifically to certify that a translation service is run according to thoroughly validated, industry-best processes. When you select an ISO 17100 translation provider, you are guaranteed that every step—from project assessment to final delivery—follows globally recognized methods focused on traceability, consistency, and risk management.
Unlike generic quality labels, ISO 17100 translation is much more than a stamp. The standard sets requirements for every resource involved in translation projects: translators, revisers, reviewers, and project managers all meet clearly defined qualification criteria. Only graduates in translation or experts with years of documented professional practice can work on ISO 17100 translation projects, ensuring that your information is handled by specialists.
Why ISO 17100 Translation Matters for Regulated Industries
In regulated industries, the risks from a poor or non-compliant translation are substantial. For instance, health authorities and international organizations may reject documentation outright due to inconsistencies or missing review trails. ISO 17100 translation was developed to mitigate these risks, making it the gold standard for legal, medical, technical and food records translation.
Every ISO 17100 translation undergoes an independent revision—a second linguist reviews accuracy, terminology, and context. This level of control is critical for documents involving patents, clinical data, origin certificates, and regulatory submissions. Clients benefit from documentation that is both audit-ready and respected by regulators worldwide.
