2006年3月中旬，欧洲标准化委员会通过了EN 150038 《翻译服务—服务规范》（Translation Service – Service Requirements）标准，对翻译服务质量提出了具体要求，规范了语言服务行业的操作规程。
Introduction
The purpose of this European standard is to establish and define the requirements for the provision of quality services by translation service providers.
It encompasses the core translation process and all other related aspects involved in providing the service, including quality assurance and traceability.
This standard offers both translation service providers and their clients a description and definition of the entire service. At the same time it is designed to provide translation service providers with a set of procedures and requirements to meet market needs.
Conformity assessment and certification based on this standard are envisaged.
