### ISO 17100 renewed: ETC Europe raises the bar - etc-europe.eu

URL : https://etc-europe.eu/iso-17100-renewed-etc-europe-raises-the-bar/

#### FAQ

**Q : What is ISO 17100 and why does it matter for EU translation?**

R : ISO 17100 is the internationally recognised standard for translation service providers, published by the International Organization for Standardization. It sets out requirements covering translator qualifications, revision processes, project management procedures, and technical resources. Unlike general quality standards, ISO 17100 is designed specifically for the translation industry. For European institutions and international organisations, ISO 17100 certification is not merely a quality label. It is increasingly a baseline requirement in public procurement frameworks. Contracts issued by the European Commission, the European Parliament, and agencies such as the EEAS frequently list ISO 17100 compliance among their mandatory technical criteria.

**Q : How does ISO 17100 certification support compliance with EU procurement requirements?**

R : EU public tenders for translation services are governed by Directive 2014/24/EU on public procurement, which requires demonstrable quality assurance mechanisms from service providers. ISO 17100 certification provides precisely this: an independently audited, third-party verification of a provider's quality management system. For contracting authorities, working with an ISO 17100-certified provider reduces administrative risk and simplifies due diligence. The certification confirms that every translation project follows a documented workflow — translation, revision by a second qualified linguist, and final quality checks — a three-step process required under the standard.

**Q : What did the renewal process confirm about ETC Europe's quality framework?**

R : The renewal audit covered ETC Europe's full operational scope: linguist selection and qualification procedures, internal revision protocols, client communication workflows, and data security practices. All processes were reviewed against the 2015 version of the ISO 17100 standard, which remains the current reference. Certification renewal — typically required every three years — is not a formality. It demands that providers demonstrate continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving industry and regulatory expectations. ETC Europe's renewed certification reflects that commitment.

**Q : Which languages and subject areas are covered?**

R : ETC Europe works across all 24 official languages of the European Union, as well as additional languages required by international organisations and diplomatic bodies. Subject matter coverage includes legal, institutional, financial, regulatory, and policy documentation — the core language pairs and domains requested in EU framework contracts. This multilingual capacity, combined with ISO 17100 compliance, allows ETC Europe to handle complex, multi-language projects where consistent terminology, regulatory accuracy, and institutional tone are required across all language versions.

**Q : Why is ISO 17100 renewal relevant for NGOs and international organisations?**

R : Non-governmental organisations and international bodies — including those operating under UN, Council of Europe, or OECD frameworks — face accountability demands comparable to those of public institutions when procuring translation services. Donors, auditors, and governance bodies increasingly require that service providers hold verifiable quality certifications. ISO 17100 renewal gives these organisations an independently verified assurance that translated communications, reports, and policy documents meet professional standards. It also reduces the administrative burden on procurement teams during supplier due diligence.

**Q : How does ISO 17100 certification support EU calls for tenders?**

R : Responding to EU framework contracts — such as those issued under the Interinstitutional Framework Contracts for Translation (TCB) or institution-specific tenders — requires meeting both administrative and technical qualification criteria. ISO 17100 certification directly addresses the technical capacity requirements that appear across most EU translation procurement procedures. Organisations that subcontract translation to ISO 17100-certified providers can also reference this certification in their own tender responses, strengthening their compliance documentation and demonstrating consistent quality standards throughout their supply chain.

**Q : What does ISO 17100 certification mean for a translation service provider?**

R : ISO 17100 certification means that a translation service provider has been independently audited and confirmed to meet the international standard for professional translation services. This covers verified translator qualifications, mandatory two-stage translation and revision workflows, documented project management procedures, and ongoing quality improvement. It is the primary quality benchmark recognised by European institutions in translation procurement.

**Q : Is ISO 17100 certification required for EU translation tenders?**

R : ISO 17100 certification is frequently listed as a mandatory or strongly preferred technical qualification criterion in EU translation calls for tenders. Specific requirements vary by contracting authority, but institutions such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the EU (TCB) regularly require or reward ISO 17100 compliance in their procurement specifications.

**Q : How often must ISO 17100 certification be renewed?**

R : ISO 17100 certification is subject to periodic renewal audits, typically every three years, conducted by an accredited certification body. Surveillance audits may also be carried out during the certification cycle to verify ongoing compliance. This renewal process ensures that certified providers maintain and develop their quality standards over time.

**Q : Does ISO 17100 cover all language pairs used in EU institutions?**

R : ISO 17100 does not restrict language pairs — it sets process and competence requirements applicable to any language combination. A certified provider such as ETC Europe can hold certification across all 24 official EU languages and additional international languages, provided the qualifying translators and revision procedures are in place for each language pair covered.

**Q : How can an organisation verify that a translation provider holds a valid ISO 17100 certification?**

R : Organisations can request a copy of the current ISO 17100 certificate directly from the provider, including the certification body's name, the scope of certification, and the expiry date. They may also verify the certification independently through the issuing body's public registry. ETC Europe provides full certification documentation upon request as part of its standard tender and procurement support.
