EN 15038:2006 is a pan-European quality standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) especially for the translation/localization industry. Because translation quality is at the core of everything we do at Burg, we want to offer our customers added assurance of our commitment by way of independent, 3rd party certification. Following extensive auditing by TUV Rheinland, Burg Translations is now certified to the EN15038 standard until August 2011. |

What does EN 15038:2006 mean for our clients? It means that you can depend on us to follow audited and certified procedures that help ensure the quality of your translation projects. Another aspect of this quality standard allows our clients to have an objective assessment tool for choosing a translation partner as twenty-nine European countries have selected EN 15038 as their national standard. Key points addressed by the EN 15038:2006 standard:
Quality management and standards (for the translation/project management process)
Technical resources
Client/vendor relations
Requirements for selecting translation resources
By specifying EN 15038 certification you can be assured that extra reviewer and traceability steps are followed. We require a specific combination of skill, experience and educational level for our translators, editors and project managers. In addition, our EN 15038:2006 compliant process is formally documented as a part of the company's general operating procedures.
It also helps to know that we have access to the latest technologies in multilingual communication. From 21 CFR Part 11 compliant project management software to translation memory and glossary databases, your organization can be assured that we utilize the latest industry-standard tools. Additionally, EN 15038 gives us a standard of excellence by which we manage client relations, requiring the terms of those relationships to be governed by ethical conduct, open dialogue and integrity.
