At Blarlo, quality is not just a goal—it’s our starting point. For years, we have provided professional translation services operating under the highest internal standards. Today, we are pleased to announce that this commitment has been externally audited and validated: we have obtained ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certifications.
For our clients, this does not represent a change in how we work, but rather a guarantee. It is the official confirmation that the rigorous quality controls we have applied since day one meet the highest international standards.

What is ISO 9001 certification?
ISO 9001 is the most widely recognized international standard for quality management systems. It applies to all types of organizations, not only translation agencies, and sets out the requirements for a company to consistently provide reliable, high-quality products and services.
What does ISO 9001 mean for the client?
When a company works with an ISO 9001 certified translation agency, it receives the assurance that:
- Every project is managed through documented, stable, and audited processes.
- Risks are identified before they become errors.
- There is a continuous focus on improvement.
- The client is at the center of the quality system: their needs are analyzed, their satisfaction is measured, and actions are taken to improve it.
In short, ISO 9001 ensures that Blarlo not only delivers excellent translations, but does so systematically and professionally, with an internal structure designed to offer efficiency, consistency, and personalized attention in every project.

What is ISO 17100 certification?
ISO 17100 is an international standard developed specifically for translation agencies. It defines the requirements that must be met in processes, professional profiles, and quality controls in every linguistic project. This certification focuses exclusively on ensuring the linguistic and terminological quality of translation services.
What does ISO 17100 mean for the client?
- Translations are carried out by qualified professional translators (with specific training and proven experience).
- Each translation is reviewed by a second linguist, following the "four-eyes principle."
- Strict procedures are applied to manage terminology, style, consistency, and cultural adaptation.
- Content confidentiality is protected and full traceability of the process is guaranteed.
For our clients, this means a guarantee of accuracy, which is crucial when translated texts have legal, commercial, or reputational impact. It also helps minimize risks: if the client needs to meet internal standards or regulatory requirements, choosing an ISO 17100 provider streamlines compliance.
Why is it so important to have ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certifications?
Because it demonstrates to our clients that at Blarlo we don’t just claim to offer quality; we submit our processes to validation by independent bodies. Obtaining an ISO certificate requires passing regular audits by accredited entities, who verify compliance with all required standards. This obliges us to maintain the highest levels of quality and consistency, and to continuously improve through periodic assessments. The result is a reliable and transparent translation service, backed by internationally recognized seals of quality.
