No pain, no gain! High-quality translations are our core business. But delivering high quality involves serious effort – and that’s why we use a quality management system (QMS) based on ISO 9001. We have been certified since May 2010 and are constantly working on the continuous improvement of our processes and services.
Annual audits by TÜV Rheinland confirm that our quality policy fully meets applicable standards.
What exactly is behind the ISO 9001 standard? Continuous improvement through certification.
A systematic quality management system serves to improve both our processes and our services and ensures that our clients receive exactly what they expect.
The ISO 9001 standard stipulates the minimum requirements that a quality management system needs to achieve in order to reach these targets. Besides the need for all processes to be defined and documented, they also have to be designed for efficiency, error prevention and continuous improvement. ISO 9001 is a firmly established component of the global economy:
It is the most significant and most widely used standard in the field of quality management and ensures added transparency and comparability across industries.
Every year, certified service providers are audited by the relevant certification authority and the effectiveness of their quality management systems is reviewed. Every three years, a re-certification audit determines whether certification is renewed.
Similar to ISO 17100, the aim of ISO 18587 is to ensure and improve translation quality. This relatively new standard focuses on one area of the translation industry, machine translation with human post-editing - also known as MTPE (machine translation with post-editing). ISO 18587 places the same high demands on post-editors as ISO 17100.
The post-editing standard improves transparency in the machine-human translation process and, as a result, increases quality so that the MT translation is in no way inferior to the human translation. We would be happy to advise you on the MTPE process in order to find the best solution for your project.
While ISO 9001 is a standard for quality improvement across industries, the translation sector also has its own specific standard: DIN EN ISO 17100.
This standard specifies requirements for the proficiency of translators, project managers and the translation and proofreading processes.
The two-expert rule is particularly important in this context: Each translation must be checked by a second, translator with the same expertise to ensure that the result is flawless and the translation serves its intended purpose.
ACT is also certified and offers translations in accordance with ISO 17100 on request, because quality is our top priority.
Top quality for technical communication: the international tekom certification is a practical professional exam provided by tekom as the Professional Association for Technical Communication.
