- 01Can the interpreter walk the floor for 8 h?
- Yes — every audit interpreter passes an 8-hour standing-walk stress test inside industrial zones and rotates with the auditor's cadence.
- 02How is upcountry work billed?
- Interpreter fee ฿6,500-14,000/day + real travel + accommodation if overnight — quoted before approval.
- 03Does the interpreter sign the supplier's NDA?
- Usually both sides — client NDA and factory NDA; iVC negotiates any conflicting clauses beforehand.
- 04Does the NCR need engineer sign-off?
- Our output is an interpreter's record, not a technical audit report — your engineer still signs the technical NCR; we deliver mirrored bilingual versions for compliance.
