With these upgraded and globally recognized standards on quality management and assurance in place, SumaLatam further cements its commitment to compliance and best practices for the provision of accurate, reliable, and professional translation service.

Cordoba, Argentina – February 21, 2022 – SumaLatam, a woman-owned, multilingual content-related services provider in Latin America delivering translation and localization for the world, announced today its recent ISO 9001:2015 certification focused on quality management systems (QMS) and performance, in addition to ISO 17100:2015 certification for standards specific to a translation company. This is a significant benchmark for SumaLatam, further solidifying their reputation for high standards of consistency, quality, and continual improvement in order to meet and exceed expectations, and deliver customer-focused solutions.

Following an external audit and assessment by Argentina-based Instituto Argentino de Normalización y Certificación (IRAM), achieving ISO certification standardizes performance.

As a guidance standard, ISO 17100 identifies SumaLatam as a proven language services company whose processes meet applicable specifications for delivery of high-quality and professional translation services. Now certified on these International Quality System Standards, the company is better able to convey cultures, ideas, products, and services beyond languages.

“As a logical next step in our customer-centric approach to translation services, achievement of these ISO certifications further standardizes our commitment to performance and acknowledges our continued focus on quality and consistency within the processes we’ve worked hard to develop over 20 years”, notes Cecilia Iros, Founder and CEO at SumaLatam.
