World Standards Day 2015 – Standards, the world’s common language
World Standards day is celebrated every year on 14 October to pay tribute to the effort of the thousands of experts who collaborate within IEC, ISO and ITU to develop voluntary international standards. The day is also a great opportunity to bring standardization to a wider audience.
EULITA has submitted the first draft of an ISO standard on legal interpreting to TC 37/SC 5/WG 2. National mirror committees are now invited to comment on the text before 12 October 2015.
