Why 1,860 characters per page?

The price is set based on the amount of translation. The amount of translation may be measured in words or 1,000 words of the source text (such measurement unit is used, e.g., in US and UK) or number of characters in the translated text.
The number of characters is measured in author's sheets (40,000 characters), lines or pages of the translated text, e.g., Germany's DIN mandates that the amount of translation be measured in lines of 55 characters.
In Ukraine, we have been using a line (62 characters) or a page (1,860 characters = 30 lines x 62 characters) to measure the amount of translation for quite long. A character is a letter, a digit, a punctuation mark, interword space (one space per word). The said measurement unit for the amount of translation is specified in the following documents:
1) Model Time Norms for Translation and Processing of Scientific and Technical Literature and Documents, National Center for Labor Productivity, Ministry of Labor of Ukraine. Kramatorsk, 1997.
