TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
32216 covers the evaluation of your manuals, and is the means by which the
procuring agency determines if your existing manuals are fully acceptable
as-is, can be used with some sort of addendum or supplemental bulletins, or
if your product is just not acceptably documented at all and cannot be made
compliant without a complete document overhaul. Obviously, if your manuals
are already 38784-compliant you are gold to them; otherwise, they will use
the standard to determine whether additional documents are needed to
qualify your product.
