What exactly is ISO/TC 37/SC 5?
The ISO Technical Committee 37, Subcommittee 5 (ISO/TC 37/SC 5) is at the forefront of shaping standards for the translation, interpreting, and related technology sectors, contributing significantly to the evolution of the global language services industry and establishing internationally recognised standards that impact both service quality and industry practices across the world.
ISO 5060 for objective translation quality evaluation
In the ever-evolving landscape of language services, ensuring quality and consistency in translation output is crucial. ISO 5060 Translation services – Evaluation of translation output offers a structured, adaptable approach to translation quality evaluation. As a newly developed guidance standard, ISO 5060 focuses on how translation output should be assessed, providing a robust framework that supports human decision-making while avoiding the rigidity of requirement standards.
