Successful regulatory applications for Europe and the US

During the translation process for market approval, our language professionals adhere to the stringent requirements of Swissmedic, the EMA and the FDA. They are fluent in the terminology, phrase texts appropriately, comply with translation standards and the formatting of the original document.

Medical approval of translation (MAT)

Special translations are required before medical equipment and medication can be approved by the authorities in Switzerland, the EU and the United States. This is where our medical approval of translation service comes in. We translate your applications, from the cover letter to the trial information, into the required languages and adapt them to the country-specific requirements. We would be happy to inform you about this service in person.
