Portable Booths for Simultaneous Interpretation (Physical Facilities)
Scope:
1.1 This standard applies to the portable physical facilities required by personnel performing a simultaneous interpretation from one language to another. Its aim is to provide optimum conditions for simultaneous interpretation using portable booths.
1.2 This standard lays down the basic requirements for portable booths for simultaneous interpretation which are used ad hoc in halls not equipped with permanent facilities.
1.3 The main features of portable booths, distinguishing them from permanent facilities. are that they can be disassembled, moved and be set up inside the conference room.
1.4 This standard has been derived from the international standard ISO 4043-1981, while taking into account the uniqueness of the Canadian simultaneous interpretation field.
1.5 The electrical requirements of the simultaneous interpretation equipment are the same for portable and permanent facilities and are provided in CANICGSB-131.2-M.
