Quality with a System: DIN EN ISO 17100 – The International Benchmark for Professional Translation Services

The DIN EN ISO 17100 standard is the internationally recognized benchmark for quality-assured translation processes – and serves as a true seal of quality for professional language service providers. It defines binding requirements for all workflow stages, the qualifications of the professionals involved, and the technologies used. The aim is to ensure consistently high translation quality – transparent, traceable, and reproducible.

Although many translation agencies claim to work in accordance with the standard, only a relatively small number are actually certified. Certification itself represents a strong commitment to reliability, customer satisfaction, and continuous process improvement. Clients benefit from structured project workflows, mandatory revision based on the four-eyes principle, and consistent terminology management.

At BOHEMIAN DRAGOMANS®, we also align with the principles of DIN EN ISO 9001, the globally recognized standard for quality management systems. This ensures that not only our language services but also all of our internal processes meet the highest standards for efficiency, transparency, and quality.

All BOHEMIAN DRAGOMANS® offices are certified according to DIN EN ISO 17100 – meeting all the requirements for professional translation processes at an international level.
