Learn about TourGo ISO Interpreter Booths
TourGo Interpreter booths are used at a multitude of events throughout the world, ranging from prestigious governmental and non-governmental organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the European Commission to Fortune 500 companies, international non-profits and local grassroots organizations.
What are ISO certified interpretation booths?
Interpretation booths that meet the requirements set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are considered ISO certified interpretation booths. ISO standards are recognized, accepted, and implemented worldwide and exist to guarantee the quality, safety, and reliability of industry products and services.
The standards for ISO booths were conceived to improve the working conditions of staff and freelance simultaneous interpreters operating day-in day-out in work spaces at publicly funded institutions, governmental and non-governmental organizations. A Better design of the booths improves the working conditions for these professionals, which in turn, results in a better experience for the users of simultaneous interpretation services.
Types of ISO interpretation booths
There are two types of ISO-certified interpretation booths, as specified by the relative standards:
Fixed Booths for Simultaneous Interpretation – as per ISO 2603:1998 (revised by ISO 2603:2016) (typically, these booths also comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission standard for Conference Systems, IEC 60914:1988)
Mobile Booths for Simultaneous Interpretation – as per ISO 4043:1998 and ISO 4043:2016
The ISO standards dictate parameters for things such as booth construction, dimensions, ventilation, lighting, safety measures, as well as booth placement within the venue.
Which organizations should use ISO Booths?
Conference facilities hosting official meetings of international organizations such as the World Bank, the United Nations, and the Organization of American States must make use of interpreter booths – mobile or fixed – constructed according to ISO standards.
If your event is organized in affiliation with a governmental body or NGO that is contractually bound to follow the ISO standards, you may be subject to those guidelines as well and should therefore use ISO booths.
Any independent venue in need of permanent interpreter booths, even if not bound to follow ISO standards.
