This International Standard establishes criteria and recommendations for community interpreting
during oral and signed communication that enables access to services for people who have limited
proficiency in the language of such services. Community interpreting occurs in a wide variety of private
and public settings and supports equal access to community and/or public services.
This International Standard addresses community interpreting as a profession, not as an informal
practice such as interpreting performed by friends, family members, children, or other persons who
do not have the competences and qualifications specified in this International Standard or who do not
follow a relevant Code of Ethics.
This International Standard is a guidance document. It establishes and provides the basic principles and
practices necessary to ensure quality community interpreting services for all language communities, for
end users, as well as for requesters, and service providers. Furthermore, it provides general guidelines
that are common to all forms of community interpreting. This International Standard is applicable to
settings wherever speakers of non-societal languages need to communicate to access services. The
settings vary and can include, among others, the following:
— public institutions (schools, universities, community centres, etc.);
— human and social services (refugee boards, self-help centres, etc.);
— healthcare institutions (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.);
— business and industry (real estate, insurance, etc.);
— faith-based organizations (rituals, ceremonies, etc.);
— emergency situations (natural disasters, epidemics, etc.).
Interpreting that enables access to services may include services provided in legal settings (police
stations, courts, prisons, etc.) that facilitate equal access to justice. In some countries, legal interpreting,
a broad field that includes court interpreting, is not considered part of community interpreting. This
International Standard does not supersede national standards or legislation which addresses any sector
of interpreting, including court or legal interpreting (See Annex A for further details).
This International Standard also provides guidance for the provision of community interpreting services.
As a result, this International Standard addresses and refers to all parties involved in facilitating
any communicative event that enables access to community services, such as members of linguistic
minorities, community interpreters, community-interpreting service providers, public institutions, and
other stakeholders who provide services to diverse linguistic communities.

This International Standard defines requirements for how platform neutral and platform specific
specification of services shall be created, in order to allow for one service to be specified independently
of one or more underlying distributed computing platforms.
This International Standard defines requirements for a further mapping from platform neutral to
platform specific service specifications, in order to enable conformant and interoperable service
implementations.
This International Standard addresses the Meta:Service foundation of the ISO geographic information
reference model described in ISO 19101-1:2014, Clause 6 and Clause 8, respectively.
This International Standard defines how geographic services shall be categorised according to a
service taxonomy based on architectural areas and allows also for services to be categorised according
to a usage life cycle perspective, as well as according to domain specific and user defined service
taxonomies, providing support for easier publication and discovery of services.

ISO 37500:2014 covers the main phases, processes and governance aspects of outsourcing, independent of size and sectors of industry and commerce. It is intended to provide a good foundation to enable organizations to enter into, and continue to sustain, successful outsourcing arrangements throughout the contractual period. ISO 37500:2014 gives guidance on: · good outsourcing governance for the mutual benefit of client and provider; · flexibility of outsourcing arrangements, accommodating changing business requirements; · identifying risks involved with outsourcing; · enabling mutually beneficial collaborative relationships. ISO 37500:2014 can be tailored and extended to industry-specific needs to accommodate international, national and local laws and regulations (including those related to the environment, labour, health and safety), the size of the outsourcing arrangement and the type of industry sector. ISO 37500:2014 recognizes that the various stakeholders act separately in some phases of the outsourcing life cycle and together in others. It is not possible to exclusively allocate processes within the outsourcing life cycle to either client or provider. For each outsourcing arrangement, process responsibility is intended to be interpreted accordingly and tailored by the user. ISO 37500:2014 is intended to relate to any outsourcing relationship, whether outsourcing for the first time or not, using a single-provider or multi-provider model, or draft agreements based on services or outcomes. Processes mentioned in ISO 37500:2014 are intended to be tailored to fit the outsourcing strategy and maturity of the client and provider organizations. ISO 37500:2014 is intended to be used by outsourcing clients, providers and practitioners, such as: · decision makers and their empowered representatives; · all stakeholders engaged in facilitating the creation and/or management of outsourcing arrangements; · staff at all levels of experience in outsourcing.

The present document describes a methodology for the aggregation of QoS parameter results in order to obtain a view onto the overall quality of the ICT services provided by Service Providers (SP) from an individual customer's perspective; a suggestion for graphical representations including one following ITU-T Recommendation P.505 [i.28] is proposed in annexes B and C. The purpose is not to identify the best SP but those whose QoS is complying in every aspect with references considered as satisfactory from the users viewpoint. The aim of this methodology is to be able to take into account preferences and expectations of individual customers as well as the subjective and objective QoS assessments. The present document does not define parameter value threshold nor specific weighting factors for the QoS parameters but rather suggests possible ways for a weighted aggregation if so wished. QoS indexes are defined using the QoS parameters provided in EG 202 009-2 [i.2] for all the stages of the customer relationship including service utilization.

The present document provides guidance for the user interaction design of telecommunication devices and services that are likely to become available for large-scale rollout to consumers in the next five to ten years. In particular, the document identifies provisions that have to be made in order to ensure that forthcoming interaction technologies deployed in devices and services will be usable by all users including older people and/or people with disabilities.
The present document lists user interaction technologies likely to be employed in future devices and services in the form of a technology roadmap. For each identified technology, key characteristics specified include:
• user requirements impacted by the technology;
• benefits and accessibility barriers that will result from deployment;
• solutions related to accessibility barriers (both those benefiting disabled users only as well as those being useful for all users in different contexts).
Measures are identified that need to be addressed prior to the large-scale implementation of those technologies in order to ensure their usability by users with the widest range of characteristics.
Within the scope of the document are those interaction technologies that are likely to be used in information and communication products and services and are likely to achieve a mass-market breakthrough between 2010 and 2020.
Interaction technologies that are exclusively used in:
• stand-alone, off-line products and services;
• assistive devices;
• safety and security-related products and services;
are not within the scope of the present document, even though the guidelines may also apply to some of them.
General user interface design issues (e.g. cognitive workload) that affect the usability and accessibility of user interfaces for eServices are also outside of the scope of the present document.
The intended readers of the present document are the designers, manufacturers and suppliers of all ICT products and services that may use new user interaction technologies in their future offerings. Researchers benefit from the present document by integrating its findings into their research at a very early stage.
It is expected that the present document should be utilised in the earliest stages of the planning of a new product or eService to ensure that the measures proposed can be taken into account during all stages of the product design and implementation process. Such usage should ensure that the resulting product or eService is as barrier free in its design as possible.

The target of this standard is to provide the different actors of the services all the elements to foresee, to fix or to offer for the carrying out of each service of waste management, street cleaning and waste collection and transport, and for the remedying of the unavoidable defaults of the fulfilment of the contracts, restricting deviations in a given incidence and putting right them within time and manners prearranged. Even if the new standard might contain a section of recommended values of the quantitative and qualitative parameters of various services, the main target is to fix a methodology to describe, to survey and to appraise services and possible defaults. Consequently the new standard will cover: - the definitions of the various services, - quantitative and qualitative parameters of the services and the way to measure them, - definition of the minimum level of the service to be let on contract, - parameters to verify for the fulfilment of the contract, - methods for survey and gauge these parameters, - the list of standards that the different equipments used have to comply with, - methods of technical and economical evaluation of the deviations from the contract that are not remedied, or that are not remedied in time by the contractor.
