About standard
This international standard is intended for implementation by a PST regardless of its size. Compliance involves fulfilling all the provisions of the international standard, but the methods of implementation may differ depending on the size and complexity of the organization and, in some cases, on the volume and complexity of the translation services required of a PST file.
The use of gross result generated by machine translation systems plus post-editing services does not fall within the scope of this international standard.
This international standard does not apply to interpretation services.
The ISO 17100 standard applies together with the ISO 17100/A1 amendment. This refers to the level of qualification of the translator.
