Pro Guide: ISO and Quality Management for Language Service Providers

Slator’s 36-page ISO and Quality Management Report for Language Service Providers (LSPs) is the ultimate resource for any LSP that has not yet been certified in one of the top five International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for language services.

We analyze ISO certification patterns for the top five standards across the 140 LSPs in the Slator 2020 Language Service Provider Index (LSPI) by segment so you can benchmark your current levels of certification against your competition.

  • ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems
  • ISO 17100:2015 for translation services
  • ISO 27001:2013 for information security systems
  • ISO 18587:2017 for post editing of MT
  • ISO 13485:2016 for quality management systems for medical devices

The report also highlights the five main benefits that ISO certifications can bring to your business — from financial benefits and increased service quality to competitive advantage and business resilience.

The quick guide section tells you what you need to know about the top five certifications, giving you key information and insights in a nutshell to help you determine which ISO certifications are most relevant to your business and why.

Our comprehensive roadmap to the practicalities of gaining ISO certification — including a cost and timeline analysis — will help you weigh the pros and cons of certification and guide you through the full process: from obtaining a copy of the standard and selecting a certification body to the moment you hang the ISO certificate on your wall (or website).

And, if you’re already certified but not yet seeing tangible benefits, our three-page Quality Management cheat sheet is packed full of ideas on how to gear your quality management (QM) systems toward maximizing the value of your ISO certifications.

This Pro Guide as well as Slator’s full research library are available to Strategy Package subscribers.
