18、The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-g
19、overnmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
20、 in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the

25、 equipping a conference venue with permanent booths. As interpreting is an activity that requires high concentration, stress factors have to be avoided, and the working environment accordingly has to meet the highest ergonomic standards and provide an environment that enables interpreters to carry o
26、ut their work properly.This document addresses the following:a) sound insulation, both from the noise transmitted from the booths environment to a booth andvice versa and from noise passing from one booth to another;b) good visual communication between the interpreters and the participants in the ev
27、ent;c) adequate working conditions for the interpreters, whose booths are their workplace, such as toenable them to sustain the intense effort of concentration required throughout the days work.

28、ooths Requirements1 ScopeThis document provides requirements and recommendations for building and renovating permanent booths for simultaneous interpreting in new and existing buildings. This document also ensures the usability and accessibility of booths for all interpreters, including those with s
29、pecial needs.It is applicable to all types of permanent booths, using built-in or portable equipment.In conjunction with either this document or ISO 4043, ISO 20108 and ISO 20109 provide the relevant requirements both for the quality and transmission of sound and image provided to interpreters and f
30、or the equipment needed in the booths.2 Normative referencesThe following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

39、ntegrated into the structure so that the room itself and the booths constitute a well-balanced unit in terms of layout, circulation within buildings, accessibility and usability according to ISO 21542. Conference interpreters experienced in technical consultancy shall be consulted from the earliest
40、stages of planning together with suppliers and specialists such as architects and project engineers.Booths shall receive as much indirect daylight from the conference room as possible.4.2 Specific requirementsBooths shall be located away from any sources of disturbance, such as kitchens, public corr
41、idors and passageways.Depending on how the conference hall is used, the booths shall be placed in such a way that the interpreters have an unobstructed view of the main speakers. In situations where extended language regimes require the use of booths on two levels, video displays may be used to prov
42、ide a view of the speakers in the booths situated on the upper level.Booths shall be raised above the floor of the hall in order to give the interpreters a clear view (see 4.5) of all proceedings in the hall, and of all visual aids such as a projection screen and displays. The view from the booths i
43、nto the hall shall not be obstructed by people standing in the way or by building components such as columns. Accordingly, the booth floor shall be no less than 60 cm above the hall floor, assuming a level floor.The booths shall be grouped in such a way as to facilitate visual contact, as well as ca
44、bling between them.2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 2603:2016ISO 2603:2016(E)4.3 Control boothIf present, the control booth shall be placed close to the interpreting booths in order to facilitate access and enable visual communication between the technician and the interpreters and to provide
45、 the technician with a clear view of all proceedings, including speakers and use of the projection screen. Interpreters shall have a facility whereby they can communicate directly with the control booth. The technician shall have safe, quick and easy access to the booths and the conference room. See
46、 also ISO 20109:2016, C.2.4.4 Access to boothsThere shall be quick and easy access to the booths from the hall and between booths.A minimum of 10 % of the booths, rounded up to the next whole number, shall be accessible to persons with a disability in accordance with ISO 21542.4.5 VisibilityA direct
47、, unobstructed view of the entire conference room, including a projection screen and the rostrum is essential. If the booths are located to one side of the conference room, the angle of the interpreters line of vision towards a screen should be no less than 35, taking the edge of the booth as a refe
48、rence. The purpose of this is to give the interpreter a clear view of the rostrum and the projection screen without the interpreters having to bend or incline the body.In very large halls, where the rostrum and/or projection screen are more than 20 m away, video displays shall be used (in accordance
49、 with ISO 20109:2016, B.2) if the distance between the booths and the screen is 3 times the screens diagonal, or if the booths are located behind the main speakers or on an upper level.The interpreters booths shall be sited in such a way that columns and pillars allow interpreters to have clear view of the projection screen, the rostrum and speakers without having to make any additional movements. Materials used shall be such that they do not inhibit visibility of the projection screen and the rostrum (e.g. non-glarin
