How To Create Compliant Manuals for the U.S.
In this article, I will show you how I create compliant user instructions for the US market.
And I am able to do this based on or simultaneously with the European documentation, with a minimum of extra time and effort. With this method you can do exactly the same.
Using the method, which I have named the U.S.er-Manual-Method, will give you the following benefits. You will:
- get an idea of how product compliance and product safety in the US is organized.
- know how to find out which products are regulated/non-regulated in the US.
- be seen within your company, as an expert on the US market.
- know how to warn for product risks.
- know which standards to use for creating user instructions.
- know which standard to use for safety messages.
- know how to use the ANSI Z535.6
- be able to create compliant manuals for the US market.
- be able to create better documentation for the European market, which can be easily adapted to compliant documentation for the US market
I outline the strategy in detail in this post.
