[Framers] [EXTERNAL] cTUVus documentation

[Flummerfelt, Robert (CONTR)]

I remember writing an information manual for an international company; the approach was to write the initial document in U.S. English, then add a section named Safety Information, immediately following the TOC. The safety information section began with U.S. English verbiage, then repeated in every target foreign language. Keep in mind, this time frame was the early 90's. Regards.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Framers] cTUVus documentation

My company just got cTUVus certification for North America. My regulatory guy is telling me we need to include French warning/caution/danger text as well as include some French text translation in our doc set.

We have no Canadian customers, and none in the pipeline, so our doc would not be exported to Canada, which has the bi-lingual/French requirement.

He was not able to answer the question I asked, if we could do two versions, a US English and a translated French for shipment to Canadian customers if and when it is required, and be in compliance with the standard.

Anyone been there and solved the problem?

Thanks,
Art
