Translations for the Italian arms industry guaranteed by the licence pursuant to Art. 28 of the Consolidated Law on Public Security (TULPS)

Many companies and institutions operating in the arms industry in Italy often select their suppliers from among those authorised to manufacture and market arms.

This authorisation is normally granted in order to regulate and limit the manufacturing and marketing of these products, as in Italy and Europe they are, by nature, subject to stringent regulations. In particular, in Italy, the import and export of military weapons were initially regulated by the Consolidated Law on Public Security (Testo Unico delle Leggi di Pubblica Sicurezza, TULPS), later replaced by Law No 185 of 9 July 1990. Therefore, to date, a special licence is required in order to manufacture and market military weapons and similar weapons, which is granted by the prefectures subject to compliance with very strict requirements and criteria.

Interestingly, companies not directly involved in the manufacturing and marketing of arms can also apply for this licence. In particular, if their clients include companies in the arms industry, obtaining this licence allows them to offer an additional guarantee of specialisation, certifying their expertise in the field.

Studio Moretto Group holds this authorisation, which is renewed every two years. As a result, we can guarantee to all clients in the arms and defence sector that the translations produced by our linguists comply with the highest industry standards. Moreover, we ensure full compliance with regulations governing the handling of classified information, while also maintaining a high level of terminological accuracy.

Furthermore, as a supplier to the armed forces, Studio Moretto Group certifies that all translations produced are managed in full compliance with the principle of confidentiality. To achieve this, we follow strict internal procedures and use advanced security systems that guarantee the proper handling of information classified as ‘Restricted’, ‘Confidential’, ‘Secret’, and ‘Top Secret’.
