The
22、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-gover
23、nmental, 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 in
24、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 pos
25、sibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list
26、of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as

ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 17100:2015ISO 17100:2015(E)IntroductionThis International Standard specifies requirements for all aspects of the translation process directly affecting the quality and delivery of translation services. It includes provisio
29、ns for translation service providers (TSPs) concerning the management of core processes, minimum qualification requirements, the availability and management of resources, and other actions necessary for the delivery of a quality translation service.This International Standard is intended for impleme
30、ntation by TSPs of any size. Conformity requires all the International Standards provisions to be met, but the methods of implementation may differ depending on the size and complexity of the organization and, in some cases, on the volume and complexity of the translation service being requested of
31、the TSP.The following auxiliary verbs used in this International Standard have the conventional usage assigned to them by ISO directives: shall used to indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the document and from which no deviation is permitted; should used to indicate
32、that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others, or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; may used to indicate a course of action permissible within the limits of the document; can used for st
33、atements of possibility and capability, whether material, physical, or causal.In this International Standard, the following convention in use has been adopted to provide clarity where there might otherwise be confusion of concept: references to “requirements” relate to provisions of this Internation
34、al Standard, other standards, or legal regulation; references to “specifications” relate to provisions involving the translation service or project originating from the client, TSP, or other sources.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 17100:2015Translation services Requirements for translation
35、services1 ScopeThis International Standard provides requirements for the core processes, resources, and other aspects necessary for the delivery of a quality translation service that meets applicable specifications.Application of this International Standard also provides the means by which a transla
36、tion service provider (TSP) can demonstrate conformity of specified translation services to this International Standard and the capability of its processes and resources to deliver a translation service that will meet the clients and other applicable specifications.Applicable specifications can incl
37、ude those of the client, of the TSP itself, and of any relevant industry codes, best-practice guides, or legislation.The use of raw output from machine translation plus post-editing is outside the scope of this International Standard.This International Standard does not apply to interpreting service
