LICS® stands for "Language Industry Certification System". LICS® is a new International certification platform, founded by AS+ Certification (www.as-plus.at/certification.html), a subsidiary of the Austrian Standards Institute, together with TermNet, the International Network for Terminology (www.termnet.org).
The aim of LICS® is to offer the language industry globally uniform and thus recognizable certificates about the standards conformity of their services, based on existing and future European and International Standards.
As the first Certification Body in Europe, LICS® has introduced a certification scheme for the European Standard EN 15038:2006 "Translation services - Service requirements" – and is successfully certifying Translation Service Providers in Canada, China, Europe and all over the world.
Access to certification by LICS® is open to any company, organisation and One Person Enterprise (OPE). At present, LICS® will be established in Canada, China, Europe and many other countries all over the world.
