Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
In light of the surge in distance interpreting, new working environments for simultaneous interpreting have
developed.
This document concerns purpose-built and ad hoc interpreting hubs which allow interpreters to provide
interpreting when they are at a location other than that of all participants of a communicative event without
a direct view of the proceedings and where technical support is provided.
Interpreting is an activity that requires high levels of concentration. The working environment shall
minimize factors which add to cognitive load.
This document addresses the following:
a) distinct workplace requirements as compared to booths with a direct view of the communicative event;
b) dedicated IT infrastructure and technical control;
c) communication between interpreters, and between interpreters and specialised technical support staff.
NOTE This document focusses on simultaneous interpreting; it is also applicable to consecutive interpreting.
This document is the third part in the series of standards ISO 17651 on Simultaneous interpreting —
Interpreters' working environment. It complements the other parts of the series, Part 1: Requirements and
recommendations for permanent booths, and Part 2: Requirements and recommendations for mobile booths.
