5 Principles
5.1 General This clause establishes principles for the selection of content, structure, and format for information for use, and the processes for the design and sustanment of information for use. The principles are concerned with:
a)the purpose of the information for use;
b)the quality of information in the intormalion for use: and
c)the use of processes for the management of information.
5.2 Purpose of information for use
5.2.1 General Information for use Bhall provlde the necessary intormation for the target audences to make sate, fficient, and effective use of a supported product. To meet this purpose, information for use provides the ollowing information types:
a)conceptual information – concepts, explanations and descriptions to enable the target audiences to perform tasks by understanding their purpose and the principles of operation of the supported product;
b)instructional information – procedures and task-oriented step-by-step instructions; and
c)reference information . detailed information which needs to be retrieved occasionally, such as troubleshootling Information, commands or codes.
5.2.2 Information for use as part of the product Information for use ls an Integral part of the supported product and shall be glven the same attentlon and importance as every other part of the product. If the Information for use is defective (e.g. does not meet the requlrements), the product as a whole Is defective. Information for use shall be learly and easlly ldentiflable with the supported product.
5.23 Target audiences’ orientation Information for use shall be usable and relevant for the target audiences with respect to their expected tasks and goals.
NOTE More Inmatton on target audience analysis can be found in ISONEC 26514.
5.2.4 Safe use of the supported product Information for use shall promote the safe operation and maintenance of the supported product. Information for use contributes to reducing the risk of injury or ilness to people or animals, and risks of damage, malfunction or inefficient operation of the product. However, information for use cannot compensate for design deficiencies or missing safety systems .
5.2.5 Product’s compliance through information for use The framework for product compliance conslsts In general of the fllowing areas of legal practie:
a)product safety law;
b)product liability, and
c)contract law. Because the information for use is part of the supported product, the legal compliance of the information for use is part of the product’s compliance.
5.3 Information quality
5.3.1 General Information for use shall meet the users’ needs for information quality: complete, minimal, correct, concise, consistent, comprehensible, and accessible.
5.3.2 Completeness Information for use shall be complete. The completeness of information depends on the following being addressed:
a)the risks of using the product;
b)the tasks that the target audiences are intended or allowed to perform throughout the life cycle of the supported product, and the target audiences’ need for information; and
c)legal and contractual requirements.
5.3.3 Minimalism Minimalism shall be applied. Minimalism is an approach to information for use that includes critical information and the least amount of other information needed to be complete. Critical information includes the safe use of the system, the security of the information created with the system, or the privacy of the information created by or stored with the system. In contrast to minimalist information， excessive documentation of all possible system functions，for example， is wasteful. It can hinder users from comprehending how to use a system for their common or critical tasks, and from discovering needed information quickly in their context of use. Minimalism balances the cost of developing and sustaining information for use with the needs of the target audiences to operate a system safely, effectively, and efficiently.IEEE P82079-1 pdf download.
