IEEE/IEC International Standard for Preparation of information for use (instructions for use) of products - Part 1: Principles and general requirements

This part of 82079 International Standard provides principles and general requirements for information for the use of products. Information for use is: necessary for the safe use of a product; helpful for the efficient and effective use of a product; and often necessary to fulfill market, legal, and regulatory obligations. Information for use of products applies to phases of the product life cycle such as transport, assembly, installation, commissioning, operation, monitoring, troubleshooting, maintenance, repair, decommissioning, and disposal, and the appropriate tasks performed by skilled and unskilled persons. This document provides the common and fundamental aspects serving as the binding and generic framework for prospective additional parts of this document. This document applies to information for use whether provided as electronic or printed information products. This document is intended for use by all parties responsible for or involved in the conceptualization, creation, maintenance, translation, localization, integration of content, production, provision and evaluation, acquisition and supply of information for use. The aim of this document is to provide these parties with the common and fundamental basis for developing information for use of supported products of the required quality. This document is intended to be applied and referenced in product-specific standards, including those that specify the content of information for use of those products, for example, IEC 60335 for all parts for household electrical products, ISO 20607* for machinery, and ISO/IEC 26514 for systems and software. It is intended as a basis to elaborate product specific requirements for target audiences or product information. * Under preparation. Stage at the time of publication: ISO/DIS 20607:2018. This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

P82079-2
IEEE/ISO/IEC Draft Standard Preparation of information for use (instructions for use) of products--Part 2: Assembly of self-assembly products

This document applies to the preparation of instructions for assembly of self-assembly products. It provides requirements and recommendations for the presentation of instructions to a non-skilled target audience assembling a product without help from a trainer or supervisor. These requirements and recommendations are additional to those in IEC/IEEE 82079-1, which applies to the preparation of all information for use of all products including aspects such as operation and maintenance.

15289-2019
ISO/IEC/IEEE International Standard -- Systems and software engineering - Content of life-cycle information items (documentation)

The purpose and content of all identified systems and software life cycle and service management information items (documentation) are specified in this document. The information item contents are defined according to generic document types (description, plan, policy, procedure, report, request, and specification) and the specific purpose of the document. This document provides a mapping of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017 clauses with a set of information items. This document identifies records and information items based on analysis of references in ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017, which in some cases provide partial or complete outlines for the content of specific documents. Information items may be combined or subdivided as needed for project or organizational purposes.

15289-2011
ISO/IEC/IEEE Systems and software engineering -- Content of life-cycle information products (documentation)

ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2011 provides requirements for identifying and planning the specific information items (information products, documentation) to be developed and revised during systems and software life cycles and service processes. It specifies the purpose and content of all identified systems and software data records and life cycle information items, as well as records and information items for information technology service management. The information item contents are defined according to generic document types (description, plan, policy, procedure, report, request, and specification) and the specific purpose of the document. For simplicity of reference, each information item is described as if it were published as a separate document. However, information items may be unpublished but available in a repository for reference, divided into separate documents or volumes, or combined with other information items into one document. ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2011 is based on the life cycle processes specified in ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207-2008) and ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (IEEE Std 15288-2008), and the service management processes specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2005 and ISO/IEC 20000-2:2005.

15289-2015
ISO/IEC/IEEE International Standard Systems and software engineering -- Content of life-cycle information items (documentation)

The purpose and content of all identified systems and software life cycle and service management information items (documentation) are specified in this standard. The information item contents are defined according to generic document types, as presented in Clause 7, and the specific purpose of the document (Clause 10). This International Standard provides a mapping of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288, ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207-2008), ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 (IEEE Std 20000-1:2013), and ISO/IEC 20000-2 (IEEE Std 20000-2:2013) clauses with a set of information items. This International Standard identifies records and information items based on analysis of references in ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288, ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207-2008), ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 (IEEE Std 20000-1:2013) and ISO/IEC 20000-2:2012 (IEEE 20000-2:2013), which in some cases provide partial or complete outlines for the content of specific documents. However, the requirements for the life-cycle processes do not uniquely and unambiguously state the requirements for the information items contents or the information needed by a user of an information item. Moreover, the information from the life-cycle processes may overlap or may be created and revised at different times. In short, the analyzed references do not result in a logically complete list of information items.
