Mark,

Unless you are talking about software, it's fairly certain that you didn't do the product testing, so you don't know for sure that the product can do/is built the way you say it is. Technical Product Documentation should always (probably far too sweeping a statement) be signed off by the person responsible for testing the product, because they, if anybody, have the 'professional' expertise to say this, and the relevant liability insurance.

While I write this from England, I have worked for US multinationals.

In the organization where I am working we are establishing a sign-off for technical accuracy. Perhaps somebody can let me know whether product documents should be signed-off for technical accuracy and coverage of functionality by the development team or the technical writer and why.

Best,
Mark
