ATC Partners with AALC for ISO Certification

ATC Certification becomes AALC’s preferred ISO certification provider

The Australasian Association of Language Companies  (AALC) has chosen ATC Certification  as its preferred partner for ISO certification services.

UK-based ATC Certification provides language industry expert auditing and certification services to LSPs across the world, with industry-specialist auditors and a dedicated remote auditing process.

AALC President Tea C. Dietterich is excited about the partnership, “There is a significant amount of interest in ISO standards with Australasian language service companies, and we are really pleased to help our members on their road towards certification with a preferred, industry-expert service, as well as a discount for AALC member companies.”

“Having taken my own company through ISO certification with ATC Certification for ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 17100 for translation services and ISO 18841 for interpreting services, I can recommend it first-hand,” adds Dietterich.

The new ISO partnership forms part of a wider Memorandum of Understanding between the UK’s Association of Translation Companies[RM3]  (ATC) and the AALC, and both associations look forward to further collaboration opportunities.

We set the service up four years ago with ISOs 9001 and 17100, and today we offer certification to the six main translation and interpreting standards, and a further four business and quality management standards.”
