EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT STANDARD FOR TECHNICAL WRITERS
IEC 82079-1 is the most important standard for the preparation of all types of usage information – from a tin of paint to very complex products such as large-scale industrial machinery.
Over the past four years, the standard has been comprehensively revised and updated under the leadership of IEC, in collaboration with ISO and IEEE. As all three organizations have been involved, a very high degree of international acceptance is expected.
