Certification and security
The ISO 9001 standard helps ensure the high quality of business management and customer service. In our daily work, we focus on the needs of our Clients, ensuring the high quality of our translations and continuously improving our company operations.
The ISO 14001 standard provides for the appropriate environmental performance, testifying to the responsibility and care for the environment inherent in our business.
The ISO 27001 standard certifies that information is managed in a properly secure way. We work with various documents and information on a daily basis, much of which are confidential. It is important to us that all employees are aware of our great responsibility, particularly when working on translations for our Clients.
The EN 17100 standard provides guidelines on how to render translation services so as to ensure their highest quality, attesting that they are appropriate for the needs of EU bodies.
We would like to inform you that Skrivanek sp. z o.o. has successfully passed an external audit for operation in accordance with the ISO 18587 standard, which specifies “requirements for the process of full, human post-editing of machine translation output and post-editors’ competences”.
We make every effort to ensure that the translation services provided by our company, as well as all its operations, comply with the applicable quality standards and EU directives. We were one of the first translation agencies in Poland to implement a Quality Management System in line with the ISO 9001 standard. In 2011, we introduced an ISO 14001 compliant Environmental Management System.
Finally, in 2012, we implemented an ISO 27001 certified Information Security Management System, whose purpose is to protect information against destruction, theft and misuse. Our goal was to guarantee credibility and the effective protection of data, both our own and those belonging to our business partners, employees, public administration authorities and other relevant persons and entities, all in accordance with the provisions of the law and our internal security regulations.
Our company is also a holder of EN 17100 translation services certification, providing requirements for all aspects of the
translation process, including those necessary for ensuring quality.
