Subject:ISO9000 Standards for Technical Documetation From:Phillip Wilkerson <phillipw -at- ALLENSYSGROUP -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 27 Jan 1999 10:53:27 -0500
Hello All:
Although we are not looking at ISO9000 compliance for a few more years, I'd
like to start updating our current style guide and FrameMaker for an ISO9000
look-and-feel for our tech pubs. Does anyone know of a style manual for
ISO9000, specifically for documenting software products?
I realize that such a specific document may not exist, but our developers
who have worked for ISO9000-compliant software companies insist that ISO
standards for software documentation do exist. Any clues where I might find
them?
Please reply to: phillipw -at- asg -dot- com
Thanks
